**Jets Add TE Neal Johnson and LB Anthony Hines, Release LB Jimmy Ciarlo and CB Myles Jones**
The New York Jets have signed tight end Neal Johnson and linebacker Anthony Hines while releasing linebacker Jimmy Ciarlo and cornerback Myles Jones.
Neal Johnson (6-4, 250), who went undrafted in 2024, initially joined the Rams in May but was waived in early August. Johnson played five seasons at Louisiana, appearing in 59 games and earning All-Sun Belt Conference honorable mention in 2022. During his final season, he recorded 30 receptions for 383 yards and five touchdowns, with three of those touchdowns coming in the last three weeks of the season.
Anthony Hines (6-3, 226) entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Cowboys in 2021 but did not make the roster. He later signed a reserves/future contract with the Rams in 2022 and has been on and off their practice squad for the past two seasons.
Hines played three seasons at Texas A&M from 2017 to 2019, sitting out the 2020 season. In his final season with the Aggies, he accumulated 73 tackles and 10.5 tackles for loss over 13 games.
Jimmy Ciarlo (6-2, 225) joined the Jets as an undrafted free agent out of Army in early May. He played four special teams snaps against the Commanders on Saturday but did not return after suffering a knee injury in the third quarter.
Myles Jones (6-4, 194) also signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent in May but did not participate in the preseason opener. Jones played four seasons at Texas A&M before transferring to Duke for the 2023 season.
