Joseph, a veteran of twelve NFL seasons last stepped on the field in 2021. That was as a member of the San Diego Chargers as Joseph started 12 games and picked up 57 tackles and a sack. Should the Jets add the 6′ 4” 329 Joseph, the player most likely to lose playing time would be current backup Nathan Shepherd.
