Lamarcus Joyner Fantasy

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.
