Lamarcus Joyner’s second deal with the Jets is worth a little less than his first. - The safety re-signed with the Jets prior to free agency. Joyner, 31, signed a one-year deal with a $2.6 million base value, per Over The Cap. Joyner is fully guaranteed $2.1 million, which includes a $700,000 signing bonus. His cap hit will be $2.1 million in 2022. - Joyner joined Gang Green on a one-year, $3 million contract last offseason, but his debut season with the Jets came to a premature end. He suffered a torn triceps injury 11 snaps into New York’s Week 1 loss to the Panthers, thus ending his season. - Joyner spent five seasons with the Rams and two with the Raiders before becoming a Jet. He struggled as a nickel corner in his final season with the Raiders, but the plan was for him to be one of New York’s starting safeties last year. The 31-year-old could get that opportunity again in 2022. - Joyner has 421 tackles, 33 defended passes and five sacks in 96 career games. He has made 59 starts since entering the league as a second-round pick in 2014. - - List - - 4 things to know about new Jets safety Lamarcus Joyner - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Jets Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Jets Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
