In October 2018, Langi sign on to the Jets’ practice squad, where he spent the rest of the season. The Jets re-signed Langi to a futures contract in January of 2019, and he spent the last two years in New York before the team declined to tender him this offseason.

Langi signed on with the Patriots soon after.
