Aaron Maybin came to the Jets hoping to jump-start his career after two lost seasons with the Buffalo Bills. It appears the former first-round pick will be looking to shed his label as a draft bust elsewhere.



Maybin was waived by the Jets on Sunday, a day after he made the team’s initial 53-player roster. Coach Rex Ryan said he liked what he had seen from Maybin in the preseason after signing with the Jets a few weeks ago.

"He played well," Ryan said Saturday night. "We had probably three spots open and I thought his play rushing the passer, that’s what landed him on the roster."

But not for long. Maybin was let go, along with defensive tackle Martin Tevaseu and defensive back Isaiah Trufant.

The Jets also claimed backup quarterback Kevin O’Connell off waivers from Miami, Mardy Gilyard from St. Louis, offensive lineman Colin Baxter from San Diego and safety Andrew Sendejo from Dallas.
