Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports that the Jets have agreed to a one-year contract with former Colts CB Pierre Desir.
According to Ian Rapoport, Desir’s contract is worth up to $5.5 million.
It’s worth mentioning that signing him to a contract won’t impact the Jets’ 2021 compensatory picks, given that he was released this offseason.
Desir, 29, is a former fourth-round pick of the Browns back in 2014. He was waived by the Browns at the start of the 2016 season and he was later claimed off of waivers by the Chargers.
After a brief stint with the Chargers, Desir signed with the Seahawks and finished out the year in Seattle. He was waived by the Seahawks at the start of the 2017 season and later claimed by the Colts.
Desir re-signed with the Colts and agreed to a three-year deal worth up to $25 million with $12 million guaranteed last year. However, the Colts cut him loose on Saturday to avoid $3 million of his 2020 salary becoming guaranteed.
In 2019, Desir appeared in 12 games for the Colts and recorded 50 tackles, three interceptions and 11 passes defended. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 73 cornerback receiver out of 113 qualifying players.
