CVI Grade pending — contract details not yet available.
A low-stakes roster shuffle that signals Hartwig couldn't hold his depth spot. Four headlines confirm this is minor housekeeping, not a significant roster decision. The Jets simultaneously signed Liam Fornadel, suggesting a direct swap at the interior offensive line position. Fans barely noticed — Hartwig never cracked the active roster meaningfully. New York will lean on Fornadel to compete for the swing lineman role going forward.
Contract details pending — will be updated when official terms are reported.
