Jets Sign Nahshon Wright to One-Year Deal

The New York Jets signed former Chicago Bears Pro Bowl cornerback Nahshon Wright to a one-year deal worth up to $5.5 million on Tuesday, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Wright will head to Gang Green to try to help their secondary after having a monster 2025 campaign with the Bears. The 27-year-old former third-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys in 2021 out of Oregon State had by far the best season of his career, tallying 80 tackles (54 solo), a career-high five interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 11 pass breakups, two forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries in 17 regular-season games played. Wright should be a starter on the outside for the Jets in his first year with the team under head coach Aaron Glenn. In his first four NFL seasons with Dallas and Minnesota (one year), Wright only had 37 tackles (27 solo), one interception, and five pass breakups. He came out of nowhere to finish as the No. 3 defensive back in fantasy points in IDP leagues.
