Looking to add depth and versatility behind starting safeties Jamal Adams and Marcus Maye, the Jets have signed former Los Angeles Rams safety Marqui Christian.
It’s a 1-year deal for Christian who was a part time player for the Rams and a special team’s ace. With safety Rontez Miles on the free agent market, this could be the end of his time with the Jets.
In four pro seasons, Christian has appeared in 55 games (1 start), logging 83 tackels, 1 tackle for loss and 3 passes defended. As one of the top small school defensive players in the 2016 draft out of Midwestern State, Christian was a fifth-round draft choice (167th overall) of the Arizona Cardinals.
