Jets cut Trusnik

Ohio Northern product Jason Trusnik was among the New York Jets' final cuts on Saturday.
The former All-American defensive end at ONU was trying to make it with the Jets at outside linebacker. In his four exhibition games, he had four tackles, including two in the final preseason game against the Eagles.
Among the Jets' cuts at linebacker were former Ohio State linebacker Anthony Schlegel and Andre Wadsworth.
Trusnik has a passion for the game and hopefully this experience will help him with his next move in football. ONU's Jamal Robertson went to Europe and Stacey Hairston played in Canada before landing in the NFL.
Hopefully, Trusnik can catch on somewhere else to keep his dream alive.

Tom,
Any thoughts on where Trusnik might head next?
Canada? arena football?
If my memory serves me, NFL Europe went belly up, so that's no longer an option...

Hope he catches on somewhere and get another shot at the big show.

It's kind of a bad time right now. The CFL is in Week 10 of its season and the Arena Football League wrapped up its season the end of July. Unless another NFL team picks him up, he'll have to wait until next year. But I'll never count him out of anything.
