ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Jets are signing Bengals DE Joseph Ossai to a three-year, $36 million contract.
Schefter adds the deal includes $22.5 million in fully guaranteed money.
Ossai, 25, was a three-year starter at Texas and was named first-team All-Big Ten in 2020. The Bengals selected him in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
Ossai signed a four-year deal worth $5,192,614 that includes a signing bonus of $1,136,446.
He finished out the contract and was in line to test the free agent market for the first time in his NFL career when he signed a one-year deal with Cincinnati for the 2025 season.
In 2025, Ossai appeared in 14 games for the Bengals and recorded 43 tackles, nine tackles for loss, five sacks and two forced fumbles.
