The New York Jets signed former Green Bay Packers safety Adrian Amos to a one-year deal Tuesday.
The 30-year-old Amos gives the Jets’ secondary more veteran experience and becomes the latest former Packers player to head to New York, including quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The deal is reportedly worth as much as $4 million.
Amos gives New York seven former Packers who played with Rodgers in Green Bay. That list also includes backup quarterback Tim Boyle, wide receivers Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb and Malik Taylor and offensive linemen Billy Turner and Adam Pankey.
Amos played the past four seasons with the Packers after spending his first four in the NFL with the Chicago Bears. He has started every game the past five seasons with 122 starts in his eight-year career since being selected by Chicago in the fifth round of the 2015 draft out of Penn State.
The Jets now have three safeties with extensive starting experience, with Amos joining Jordan Whitehead — a starter last season after being signed as a free agent — and Chuck Clark, who was acquired from Baltimore this offseason.
New York also has Ashtyn Davis and youngsters Tony Adams, Jarrick Bernard-Converse, Trey Dean and Marquis Waters at the position. Veteran Will Parks was released last Thursday.
