Colts trade long snapper Thomas Hennessy to the New York Jets in exchange
Martin originally signed with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent on May 2, 2015.
He spent the 2015 offseason and training camp with the Seahawks before being waived on September 5, 2015. Martin was claimed off waivers by the New York Jets the next day.
Hennessy signed with the Colts in May as an undrafted rookie from Duke.
The Jets currently have one long snapper (eight-year veteran Tanner Purdum) on the roster, but they either wanted competition or a cheaper alternative.
Hennessy signed with the Colts as an undrafted rookie out of Duke this year. He was Ross Martin's long snapper at Duke from 2013-15. Martin is now competing with Chandler Catanzaro for the Jets' kicking job.
Martin has never kicked in an NFL regular season game, but he has given Catanzaro a run for his money in training camp and preseason games this year.
In the third round in 2015, Maccagnan took pass-rusher Lorenzo Mauldin, who has 6.5 career sacks and is suddenly buried on the depth chart. There's a good chance he won't make the team.
Quarterback Bryce Petty came in the fourth. He looks more like a backup, if that. The Jets cut guard Jarvis Harrison (fifth round) one year after drafting him
