Quinton Jefferson Fantasy

The New York Jets have signed free-agent defensive end Quinton Jefferson on Thursday. Jefferson is coming off a decent season with the Seattle Seahawks last season. He recorded a career-high 5.5 sacks with 29 tackles, and six tackles for loss in 17 games (three starts) this past season. Jefferson doesn't grade too well in terms of PFF grading, but he should be able to make an impact as a rotational player.

The Seattle Seahawks released defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson on Tuesday, according to a source. Jefferson will be one and done in Seattle after spending the first four seasons of his career with the team in his second stint with the Seahawks. He played for the Buffalo Bills in 2020 and the Las Vegas Raiders in 2021. In 17 games (three starts), Jefferson had 29 tackles (17 solo), a career-high 5.5 sacks, six tackles for loss and 13 QB hits last year. The 29-year-old former fifth-round pick by the Seahawks in 2016 should generate some interest on the open market as a rotational pass-rusher after a solid season in 2022.

Free-agent defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson said that he is signing with the Seattle Seahawks on an undisclosed two-year deal on Friday. Jefferson was taken in the fifth round of the 2016 draft by the Seahawks out of Maryland, and he spent his first four years in the NFL with the team. He played for the Buffalo Bills in 2020 and the Las Vegas Raiders last year, but he will now reunite with the team that drafted him. In 17 starts in 2021, Jefferson had a career-high 47 tackles (17 solo), five tackles for loss, 16 QB hits, two forced fumbles and 4.5 sacks. The 28-year-old will hopefully be a big improvement for a defensive line that struggled to get pressure on the opposing quarterback last season.
