The safety position looks different for New York after the Jamal Adams trade. Marcus Maye is still here, Bradley McDougald is a solid replacement and Ashtyn Davis is a dynamic rookie, but it’s impossible to know how this unit will perform this season. Right now, Mattias Farley is primed to be the fourth safety behind Maye, McDougald and Davis, but Cioffi should be locked in on the practice squad as an emergency option. 

Cioffi can play both safety positions as well as cornerback, so his versatility means he’s immensely more valuable as a protected player on the practice squad.
