According to Jordan Schultz, the Jets are signing CB Nahshon Wright to a one-year deal worth up to $5.5 million.
The former third-round pick had a career renaissance with the Bears last year and made a ton of impactful plays. It wasn’t enough to get him a long-term deal but he did get a well-earned raise and will compete to start with the Jets.
Wright, 27, is a former third-round pick of the Cowboys back in 2021. He was in the final year of his four-year, $4.8 million contract when the Cowboys traded him to the Vikings during training camp last year.
He was let go after camp and spent the season on the practice squad before re-signing on a futures deal after the season.
In 2025, Wright appeared in 17 games for the Bears and made 16 starts, recording 80 tackles, three fumble recoveries, two forced fumbles, five interceptions, 118 interception yards, one touchdown and 11 pass deflections.
