Matthias Farley’s spot on New York’s roster is in jeopardy and he produced for the Jets last season. That places Bennett Jackson on red alert in the coming days.

Jackson has bounced around the NFL since being drafted by the Giants in 2014. He signed with the Jets last December and figured to factor into New York’s plans at safety in training camp and the preseason, but with the preseason canceled, the Notre Dame product is at a serious disadvantage moving forward.

Jackson needed the preseason to impress the Jets’ coaching staff. He has the talent to be New York’s fourth safety, but he will not have the chance to prove it without the preseason. Farley has more experience working in Gregg Williams’ defense, which could be the deciding factor in which safety is cut before camp begins.
