The New York Jets spent part of their bye week auditioning several players, including safeties Kevin Ellison (San Diego Chargers, Seattle Seahawks) and Al Afalava (Chicago Bears), a league source confirmed.
The workout was conducted Thursday.
Ellison was cut by the Chargers following a possession of a controlled substance arrest and signed by the Seahawks before being released.
The Jets also worked out defensive end Nick Reed (Seattle Seahawks) and rookie quarterback Jonathan Crompton (San Diego Chargers).
This marks the second workout this week for Crompton, a former Chargers fifth-round draft pick.
He worked out for the Houston Texans on Tuesday.
The players of note that they took at look at included Ss Kevin Ellison and Al Afalava, QB Jonathan Crompton and DE Nick Reed.
Crompton, who was selected in the fifth round of this year’s NFL Draft, also worked out for the Houston Texans earlier this week.
Meanwhile, the Jets placed linebacker Kenwin Cummings on waivers.
A 6-foot-3, 250-pounder from Wingate, Cummings has been with the team off and on the active roster and practice squad for the past three seasons.
He played in three games this season, seeing all of his action on special teams.
