D.J. Reed Fantasy

New York Jets cornerback D.J. Reed has been really impressed with rookie cornerback Sauce Gardner early on. Gardner, who was the No. 4 overall pick, didn't give up a single touchdown out of his 1,000-plus career coverage snaps and only allowed 13 catches for 117 yards last year at Cincinnati. "I love him man. I watched his tape and he's everything that the media is saying he is, he's a lockdown cornerback," Reed said. "He did it in college, and I believe he can do it at the NFL. He's prototypical, he has elite characteristics, and he plays with great eye discipline. He can catch, too. He makes great plays on the ball and it's just an overall complete cornerback in my opinion. I'm looking forward to balling with him."

The New York Jets signed free-agent cornerback D.J. Reed to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, according to sources. Reed will head to the AFC after spending his first four NFL seasons in the NFL in the NFC with the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks. He started 14 games last year for Seattle and finished with a career-high 78 tackles (62 solo), two interceptions, 10 passes defensed and one fumble recovery. The 25-year-old will compete for a starting job this summer with the Jets. Reed was drafted in the fifth round of the 2018 draft by the 49ers out of Kansas State.

The Seattle Seahawks want to re-sign cornerback D.J. Reed, who was the only sure thing in Seattle's secondary in 2021. Reed made $920,000 in the final year of his deal last season, and it will likely cost the Seahawks at least $4 million per year to keep Reed around. If they don't think they can reach a long-term deal with him, the franchise tag is an option up until March 8. However, Seattle has used the tag just twice in the Pete Carroll-John Schneider era of 12 years. "I definitely want to stay here," the 25-year-old Reed said, "but the price has to be right." In 14 games last year, Reed had a career-high 78 tackles (62 solo), two interceptions, 10 passes defensed and one fumble recovery. The Seahawks have also made it a priority to re-sign safety Quandre Diggs.
