Last year, former Bears wide receiver Joe Anderson was spotted outside of the Texans stadium holding up a sign asking for another shot from an NFL team.

Anderson got one a short time later when the Jets signed him to their practice squad in December. He’ll need to either take the sign out of storage or make up a new one for the 2016 season, however.

The Jets announced Thursday that they have waived Anderson from their 90-man roster in the kind of move to clear space for incoming rookies that we’ve seen all around the league this week.

Anderson played nine games for the Bears in 2012 and 2013 seasons without catching a pass, although he did return five kickoffs and see other time on special teams.
