Safety depth has been a bit of an issue for the Jets for a few years now. Projecting ahead to 2025, it looks more dire than ever. Tony Adams returns to lock down one spot, but next to him will be free agent signee Andre Cisco , a former third-round pick of the Jaguars who was a consistent weak point in the Jacksonville secondary. In 2024, he had a 58.8 PFF grade, good for 70th at the position.
Behind them is fourth-round rookie Malachi Moore , a veteran of the Alabama defense who may struggle initially in the NFL. Shoring up the depth on the back end will be important, and right now, the Jets are relying on some underwhelming and unproven players. Blackmon can play free or strong safety, and though he’s best in the box, he has plenty of experience as a deeper-field safety during his time in Indianapolis. He’s versatile enough to fill any role the Jets need him to and would be a substantial upgrade on their back end.
