Jets sign defensive end Rashad Weaver to one-year deal

The New York Jets have signed defensive end Rashad Weaver to a one-year contract, as confirmed by multiple sources. Weaver, a fourth-round pick from the 2021 NFL Draft, previously played three seasons with the Tennessee Titans and had a brief stint with the Texans in 2024, where he participated in three games. Over his four-year career, he has recorded 5.5 sacks, all during his time with the Titans, but saw a significant drop in playing time last season. The Jets are looking to bolster their pass rush depth, especially with Jermaine Johnson returning from injury and Will McDonald and Micheal Clemons also in the mix. Weaver's addition is part of the team's efforts to strengthen their defensive line under new head coach Aaron Glenn. His experience aims to provide valuable depth as the Jets prepare for the upcoming season.
