The Jets are bringing back safeties LaMarcus Joyner and Will Parks.
Joyner’s agent, Sunny Shah, announced on Twitter that Joyner will return on a one-year deal.
The Jets signed Joyner last year, believing that the veteran safety was a good fit for their scheme and could lead the young secondary. Joyner, who has also played for the Rams and Raiders, started Week 1 alongside Marcus Maye but tore his triceps early in the game and played only nine snaps last season.
It made sense for the Jets to give the 31-year-old Joyner another shot, especially at a position of need.
