The New York Jets are a team in transition, with a new front office and coaching staff that will be leading a younger roster in the 2025 NFL season. With plenty of youth on the roster and several voids at a few positions, it appears NFL free agency could be the answer to address both.
Connor Hughes of SportsNet New York writes that the Jets' secondary, especially at safety, could be a point of focus for the Jets' front office in NFL free agency this summer. It would be adding to a room that already has newcomer Andre Cisco , who is coming off a down year with the Jacksonville Jaguars .

Atop the Jets depth chart right now at safety are Cisco and Tony Adams . However, Adams is entering a prove-it year with a new regime that has no ties to him and there isn't proven or quality depth behind him. New York also has rookies Malachi Moore (130th overall pick) and Dean Clark , along with second-year players Jarius Monroe and Jaylin Simpson on the roster.
Severely lacking experience at the position and thin on quality depth, NFL free agency does offer some options. Justin Simmons , Jordan Poyer and Quandre Diggs all bring at least 9 years of playing experience. It's worth noting that Simmons worked for the Denver Broncos as an area scout when they drafted Simmons.

New York could even pursue a reunion with Jordan Whitehead , who played with the franchise from 2020-'23. Chuck Clark , John Johnson and Vonn Bell are also veteran options available right now.
For now, safety appears to be the primary position that the Jets are likeliest to make a major addition through NFL free agency. However, it's possible the club will add more depth at other positions but they would face longer odds of contributing in 2025.
