DRAWIN’ A LINE
Jets restructure offensive line, but that doesn’t mean it’s better
The Jets added a stop-gap piece to their shaky secondary. Gang Green agreed to a one-year deal with former Colts cornerback Pierre Desir on Sunday, according to a source.
Desir, who will turn 30 before the start of the regular season, was cut by Indianapolis last week.
One day after Gang Green cut starting corner Darryl Roberts, they landed his likely replacement.
The 6-1, 192-pound Desir is expected to have the inside track on one of the starting outside cornerback jobs. The Jets, who also predictably cut starter Trumaine Johnson last week, will be looking for more cornerback help this offseason.
Although Desir had careerhighs in interceptions and pass deflections last season, his coverage actually slipped. Opposing quarterbacks completed 64.9% of passes with a 96.5 passer rating against him in 2019, both worse than the year before. Desir also gave up five touchdowns in 2019.
Desire is the latest player to get a one-year deal from the Jets, who have almost exclusively been giving out shortterm commitments.
REPORT: PATS GRAB HOYER
The Boston Globe and ESPN report that the Patriots have agreed to terms on a oneyear contract with veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer.
Hoyer’s contract with the Patriots is for $1.05 million, according to ESPN. He is making $2 million from the Colts, who released him on Saturday. It’s Hoyer’s third stint with the Patriots.
SEATTLE TABS WARMACK
The Seattle Seahawks continue to stockpile offensive linemen in free agency, agreeing to terms with former firstrounder Chance Warmack on Sunday, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.
Warmack has not played since 2018, when he appeared in nine games for Philadelphia. He sat out last season to reportedly get healthy after a series of injuries.
