Jets Hosted Four Including LB Reuben Foster For Tryouts/Visits

According to Ian Rapoport, the Jets are working out LB Reuben Foster on Thursday. 

The Jets also tried out OT Aviante Collins and hosted DBs Sheldrick Redwine and Jarrod Wilson for visits, per Howard Balzer. 

New York is a little shallow at linebacker and HC Robert Saleh is familiar with Foster from their time together with the 49ers. 

If Foster is recovered from a severe knee injury suffered two years ago, which is a major question, he could be a potential fit for the Jets. 

Foster, 27, is a former first-round pick of the 49ers back in 2017. The 49ers waived him in 2018 due to a domestic violence charge that was later withdrawn and he was claimed off of waivers by Washington. 

Washington declined to pick up his fifth-year option and ultimately placed him on injured reserve after he suffered a severe knee injury in the spring.

Foster was entering the final year of his four-year, $9.03 million rookie contract and set to make a base salary of $1.7 million for the 2020 season when Washington placed him on IR again. They later cut him with a settlement. 

In 2018, Foster appeared in six games for the 49ers and recorded 29 tackles and a pass defense.
