Heading into OTAs, I was pretty convinced about how the New York Jets were going to line up in the secondary. It would be D.J. Reed and Sauce Gardner on the outside with Jordan Whitehead and Lamarcus Joyner at safety.
However, during OTAs, word got out that Jason Pinnock was getting starting reps at free safety over Joyner. Joyner was expected to start for the Jets last year before an elbow injury in Week 1 sidelined him for the entire season.
The Jets re-signed Joyner to a one-year deal in March with the expectation being that he would start next to Whitehead.
