The New York Jets signed veteran safety Adrian Amos to a one-year deal on Tuesday afternoon.
For a few hours, it seemed like the addition of Amos gave the Jets a third starting-caliber safety alongside Jordan Whitehead and Chuck Clark. However, we soon found out that Clark is believed to have suffered a serious knee injury, which will likely sideline him for a substantial period of time (he is waiting on a second opinion).
Now, it looks like Amos has a strong chance of starting for the Jets. He will compete for reps against Jordan Whitehead and Tony Adams among others, but as a ninth-year vet who has started 68 consecutive games dating back to 2017, Amos has the inside track to a starting job.
