Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Jets are signing S Sharrod Neasman to a contract on Thursday.
The Jets have confirmed the news and announced that they’ve placed OL Parker Ferguson on injured reserve.
Neasman, 29, wound up signing on with the Falcons as an undrafted free agent out of Florida Atlantic back in 2016. He was cut loose at the start of the 2016 season and later signed to the Falcons practice squad.
The Falcons declined to tender him a qualifying offer in 2018 and he later signed on with the Saints. Neasman returned to the Falcons in 2019 and agreed to a one-year contract for the 2020 season.
In 2020, Neasman appeared in all 16 games for the Falcons and recorded 24 tackles, one sack and no interceptions.
