New York Jets safety Lamarcus Joyner (hip) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Entering Week 17, the 32-year-old was leading the team with three interceptions while amassing 55 total tackles. If the Jets don't secure a win over Seattle, it's possible Joyner won't be back for the rest of the season.
New York Jets safety Lamarcus Joyner (triceps) is still the starter despite missing organized team activities and minicamp, but there's a chance that Ashtyn Davis and Jason Pinnock could push him for playing time this year if their strong OTAs turn into strong training camps. Joyner is 31 years old and his future with the team is unlikely to extend beyond the 2022 season. Joyner is reportedly healthy heading into training camp at the end of July after he played in just one game in 2021 due to a season-ending triceps injury. He projects to open the season as a starter next to Jordan Whitehead, but Joyner will have to play well and stay healthy to hold off both Davis and Pinnock in the Jets secondary.
The New York Jets re-signed veteran safety Lamarcus Joyner to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to his agent. Joyner suffered a season-ending triceps injury in Week 1 of last year. The 31-year-old entered the season as the starting safety opposite Marcus Maye. With Maye likely to leave in free agency, the Jets decided to give Joyner another chance in their secondary. Joyner had 66 tackles (53 solo), six tackles for loss and five passes defensed in 14 games (six starts) for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2020 before he joined the Jets. He was originally a second-round pick in the 2014 draft by the St. Louis Rams out of Florida State.
New York Jets defensive back Lamarcus Joyner (elbow) exited the Week 1 showdown with the Carolina Panthers early after he suffered a torn tendon that will require surgery and likely knock him out for the season. The former Las Vegas Raider played in 14 games last year, finishing with five pass deflections and 66 combined tackles (53 solo) while adding six tackles for loss. The 30-year-old signed a one-year deal this offseason, so he has potentially played his final game as a member of the New York Jets.
Former Las Vegas Raiders defensive back Lamarcus Joyner will sign a one-year, $4.5 million deal with the New York Jets, according to sources. Joyner will have the chance to play safety with his new team under defensive-minded head coach Robert Saleh after playing nickel back with the Raiders in 2020. The Jets also have Marcus Maye and Ashtyn Davis at the safety position, and it's not immediately clear how Gang Green will defend the slot. Joyner was a second-round pick by the Los Angeles Rams in 2014 but has played the last two seasons with the Raiders. The Florida State product has 417 tackles and four interceptions in his seven-year NFL career.
The Oakland Raiders agreed to terms with free-agent safety Lamarcus Joyner (Rams) on a four-year deal on Monday, according to a source. Financial terms of the deal were undisclosed. The Raiders needed some back-end help on defense, and Joyner is a good one. He was a beast last season, amassing 78 combined tackles with a sack, a fumble recovery, an interception and three passes defensed. He turned a career-high in tackles into a nice pay day after spending five seasons with the Rams. Joyner is a solid defensive back for those using individual defensive players (IDPs), although the Raiders defense remains one of the lower-echelon fantasy defenses barring more additions.
The Los Angeles Rams placed safety Lamarcus Joyner on the Non-Football Injury list on Wednesday after he didn't pass his conditioning test. This isn't a big deal, and he can come off the NFI list and practice when he's medically cleared. He has three career interceptions, four sacks and two forced fumbles in four NFL seasons. Joyner should improve in his second season at safety under legendary defensive coordinator Wade Phillips.
Los Angeles Rams free safety Lamarcus Joyner isn't expected to receive a long-term extension before the Monday deadline, although the two sides have continued to talk, according to league sources. Joyner already signed his franchise tag and would be scheduled to be a free agent after this year. The 27-year-old was moved to safety last year and had 49 tackles and the first three interceptions of his career. He makes up part of a drastically improved secondary that also includes cornerbacks Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib.
Los Angeles Rams safety Lamarcus Joyner signed his $11.287 million franchise tag tender on Monday, according to a source. Joyner is expected to return as the team's starting free safety in defensive coordinator Wade Phillips' scheme. Joyner had 49 tackles and his first three career interceptions in 2017 and will be an underrated part of a secondary that also added star cornerbacks Aqib Talib and Marcus Peters in the offseason.
Los Angeles Rams cornerback Lamarcus Joyner is set to be a free agent, and Rams head coach Sean McVay said re-signing Joyner is a "huge priority." Joyner had a breakout year in his first full season at safety, creating four turnovers and grading out positively across the board at PFF. He is expected to be brought back as a strong fit in defensive coordinator Wade Phillips' scheme. The Rams may franchise Joyner if they do not extend him before the March 6 deadline.
