Jets Sign Pro-Bowl Cornerback Nahshon Wright to 1-Year Deal

The New York Jets have made another move on the defensive side of the ball by signing pro-bowl cornerback Nahshon Wright away from the Chicago Bears.

Wright had a career year in 2025, intercepting five passes and running one back 74 yards for a touchdown.  He also fits the Aaron Glenn mold of a corner as a tall, lanky corner who can disrupt opposing receivers trying to locate the football.  Aside from the five interceptions, Wright had 11 passes defended and 2 forced fumbles.

By adding Wright, the Jets bring in a third defensive back after trading for Minkah Fitzpatrick and signing former Giants safety Dane Belton.  After failing to intercept a single pass in 2025, adding three defensive backs who combined for seven picks last season should be a welcome sight for Jets fans.

In all, the Jets have now added nine new players with eight of them being on the defensive side of the ball.

Glenn Naughton

Glenn was Born in the Bronx, New York and has followed the Jets religiously despite being stationed in several different countries and time zones around the world. He now resides in England and has been a JetNation member since 2005. Glenn will bleed green with the rest of us through the highs and lows.
