- On Tuesday, the New York Jets signed Pro Bowl cornerback Nahshon Wright to a one-year, $5.5 million contract and added safety Dane Belton on a one-year deal.

- Wright finished last season with five interceptions, including a 74-yard touchdown, and forced a fumble on the 'Tush Push' versus the Eagles, with 80 tackles.
