Jets signed S Jaiquawn Jarrett to a reserve/future contract.

The Eagles' second-round pick in 2011 worked out for the Jets during the year after Philadelphia waived Jarrett in early September. Jarrett essentially spent the year out of football after showing no coverage ability with Philly. The Jets also signed QB Matt Simms, LB JoJo Dickson, DT Tevita Finau, OL Dennis Landolt, WR Royce Pollard and DL Jacquies Smith to reserve/future pacts.

Jets worked out former Eagles S Jaiquawn Jarrett.

Jarrett cleared waivers, as no team wanted to guarantee his rookie salary. Coach Andy Reid acknowledged the 2011 second-rounder was never a good fit in the Eagles defense. Jarrett will play special teams no matter where he ends up.

Jaiquawn Jarrett has settled in as the Eagles' third safety.

It speaks more to the team's lack of talent/depth at the position than any progression from Jarrett. Since he was selected in the second round last season, the Temple product has consistently been exposed in coverage. The Eagles badly need starters Nate Allen and Kurt Coleman to stay healthy.
