General manager Joe Douglas is on the board.
The free agent Jets and linebacker Jarrad Davis agreed to the terms of a $ 5.5 million one-year contract, which includes a base salary of $ 3 million and a signing bonus of $ 2, 5 million. He can earn an additional $ 1.5 million in game time incentives. It is the first contract signed in principle for the Jets this season. The contracts are not officially signed until the new year of the league begins at 4 pm ET on March 17.
What does the signature mean for the Jets? Where will Davis slide into the defensive scheme of new coach Robert Saleh?
Here’s the breakdown.
How it fits: Saleh announced at his introductory (virtual) press conference that the Jets would implement a 4-3 defensive scheme this year. They haven’t seen it since the Herm Edwards (2001-05) years.
