The Jets announced on Wednesday that they are signing RB Deon Jackson and waiving WR Hamze El-Zayat in a corresponding move.
Jackson, 25, wound up going undrafted out of Duke back in 2021. He later signed a rookie contract with the Colts but was waived and later signed to their practice squad.
Jackson spent the entire 2022 season on the team’s active roster. He signed a futures deal for the 2023 season but was cut loose and later signed by the Browns.
Cleveland waived Jackson in October and he was later claimed by the Giants where he finished out the season. New York cut him from their injured reserve with a settlement in May.
He most recently worked out for the Texans back in July.
In 2023, Jackson appeared in four games for the Colts, Browns, and Giants, rushing for 14 yards on 13 carries to go along with five receptions for one-yard receiving.
