Whitehead didn't linger unclaimed for very long as he is now a member of the Jets. Although New York is rebuilding, it will be difficult for Whitehead to emerge as anything more than a gadget player on offense and a return ace on special teams. The Jets employ a handful of young talent at wideout, Whitehead's listed position, with players that include Quincy Eunwa, Robby Anderson, ArDarius Stewart, Chad Hansen and KD Cannon. Whitehead will likely be slated behind those aforementioned receivers upon his arrival at training camp.

The Cowboys, who released the wideout Monday after learning of his June incident, didn't submit the paperwork for his transaction on time. Therefore, he remains a member of the team, for now, per Rapoport. There will be greater clarity on Whitehead's status on the Cowboys at the close of business Tuesday.
