Brandon Stephens has agreed to a three-year, $36 million cope with the New York Jets, based on NFL Community’s Mike Garafolo.
A 3rd-round decide of the Ravens’ in 2021, Stephens was a full-time beginning cornerback the previous two seasons in Baltimore. Although he was one of many NFL’s highest-targeted cornerbacks, Stephens was typically sticky in protection and a robust tackler. In line with Professional Soccer Focus, Stephens allowed 65 receptions for 806 yards final season, which ranked because the fifth and second-most within the league, respectively.
Baltimore has Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins as subsequent yr’s projected starters. After drafting Wiggins within the first spherical final yr, the Ravens will doubtless be within the cornerback market once more on this yr’s draft. The Jets have reportedly misplaced cornerback D.J. Reed to the Detroit Lions in free company.
