Jets' Nathan Shepherd: Re-signs with Jets

Shepherd agreed Tuesday to re-sign with the Jets, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Shepherd appeared in all 17 games for New York in 2021 and registered 28 tackles (17 solo). He was a key depth piece along the Jets' defensive line, playing over 25 percent of the team's defensive snaps in every game. The 2018 third-round pick is once again expected to fill a rotational role in 2022.
