One of the NFL’s ultimate journeymen is starting to establish a base with the New York Jets.
According to Dennis Waszak of the Associated Press, linebacker James Burgess is set to return to the team on a one-year deal. The Jets were Burgess’ sixth team over four NFL seasons.
Burgess entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Louisville in 2016. He joined the Jets last spring and went on to have a strong preseason with 13 tackles and an interception returned for a touchdown during an exhibition win in Atlanta. Burgess was left off the Week 1 roster, but was added to the team prior to their Week 8 game in Jacksonville.
