Two months after getting hired as the general manager, Jets general manager Joe Douglas faces his first test.

He and his personnel staff must comb through the 1,200 players about to get cut next weekend and figure out who can help the team.

“We are prepared. We’ve had good meetings,” Douglas said before the Jets’ 28-13 preseason loss to the Saints on Saturday night at MetLife Stadium. “We’ve gone through these first two [preseason] games with a fine tooth comb. We have our target list. We feel good about it. We have two more weeks of games to go through but we’re excited. We have an opportunity to really upgrade this team. Like I mentioned in my initial press conference, we’ve got the third waiver claim and we plan on using it. We’re fired up.”

Douglas said the Jets are open to any avenue to improve the team before its Week 1 meeting with the Bills, including trades. Douglas did not address any player specifically, but said the Jets will make a move if they think the player can help, even if the player is only under contract for this year.

“If it was the right player, we’d certainly entertain it,” Douglas said. “We’re in the business of making this roster better. If the right opportunity presented itself, I certainly wouldn’t shut it down.”

The one big name on the trade market is Texans edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney, but trading for him would be risky because you could not negotiate a long-term contract with him until the offseason since Houston applied the franchise tag to him.

In the battle to be the Jets’ third quarterback, Luke Falk got into the game before Davis Webb, a possible sign of which way the Jets are leaning there.

Safety Brandon Bryant left the game with a head injury.

CB Trumaine Johnson, RB Le’Veon Bell, CB Kyron Brown, LB Brandon Copeland, RG Brian Winters and LG Kelechi Osemele were among those who did not play.
