The Jets looked north of the border for their first acquisition of the offseason.
The team announced Thursday that it signed free agent safety Anthony Cioffi. Cioffi spent the last two seasons with the Ottawa Redblacks of the Canadian Football League.
In two seasons there, Cioffi recorded 97 tackles, two interceptions, four sacks, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery for a touchdown.
The 25-year-old went undrafted out of Rutgers in 2017. A Springfield, New Jersey native, Cioffi was teammates with current Jets CB Bless Austin. Cioffi was later signed by the Raiders, who he spent training camp and the preseason with. In the 2017 preseason, Cioffi had six tackles and a forced fumble.
