Jets' Tim Ward: Signs new deal

Ward signed a one-year contract with the Jets on Monday, Howard Balzer of SI.com reports.

Ward played in 11 games for the Jets last season, recording 12 tackles (five solo) and two passes defensed. It was the 24-year-old's most significant work since coming into the league in 2019 out of Old Dominion. Ward will work to earn a larger role with the Jets in 2022.
