Howard Balzer reports that the Jets have hosted free agent S Stevie Brown for a tryout on Tuesday.
The New York Giants surprisingly released Brown just a few days after signing him to a contract, according to the NFL transactions release.
Brown, 28, signed a one-year, $825,000 contract that included a $40,000 signing bonus with the Texans back in April, but was officially released a little over a week ago.
In 2014, Brown appeared in all 16 games for the Giants last season and recorded 38 tackles, one sack, and a pass defense. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 47 safety out of 87 qualifying players.
