Joe Douglas got to work on upgrading the Jets’ secondary earlier this week, inking Lamarcus Joyner to a one-year deal.
Joyner is likely to return to his natural safety position with New York after spending 2020 playing nickel cornerback with the Raiders. The expectation is that Joyner will play a role similar to the one Jimmie Ward took on in Robert Saleh’s defensive scheme with the 49ers, placing Joyner next to Marcus Maye as New York’s strong safety and also utilizing him in the box on occasion.
Let’s get to know the Jets’ newest defensive back and learn a little bit more about what he could bring to One Jets Drive.
