Tony Jefferson News
Free safety Tony Jefferson has decided to retire from playing in the NFL on Thursday. The 31-year-old registered 31 tackles in nine games with the New York Giants last season. He missed a majority of the season due to a foot injury. He spent most of his career as a member of the Arizona Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens. Jefferson wasn't an All-Pro player, but he was a reliable defender and was a trustworthy player in coverage. It looks like it didn't take Jefferson long to find another job. He's set to join the Ravens staff as a scout, so best of luck to him going forward.
The New York Giants signed veteran free-agent defensive back Tony Jefferson to their practice squad, along with offensive lineman Wyatt Davis, defensive end Henry Mondeaux and linebacker Charles Wiley. Jefferson didn't survive roster cuts last Tuesday with the Baltimore Ravens, making him a free agent. The 30-year-old served as secondary depth for the Ravens and San Francisco 49ers last year and only played in six games, finishing with 18 tackles (nine solo) and one sack. Jefferson has eight years of NFL experience (four with the Arizona Cardinals) and should provide the Giants with some valuable depth in 2022.
The Baltimore Ravens plan to release safety Tony Jefferson, according to a source. The Ravens drafted Kyle Hamilton in the first round this offseason and also signed former New Orleans Saints standout Marcus Williams, leaving less opportunity for Jefferson, who had a strong preseason with nine tackles in one half in the finale last Saturday against the Washington Commanders. The 30-year-old veteran safety played in only six combined games with the Ravens and San Francisco 49ers last year, recording 18 tackles (nine solo), one sack and one pass defensed. Jefferson will be looking to latch on with another team as veteran defensive back depth before Week 1 arrives.
