Troy Reeder joins Jets
The linebacker was signed to the practice squad
Linebacker Troy Reeder was signed by the New York Jets to the practice squad. He has a 7-year NFL career, mostly with the Los Angeles Rams. Reeder has a questionable reputation among Rams fans due to his on-field performances.
What Reeder can bring to the Jets
Reeder may be called upon to play inside linebacker for the Jets due to a lack of depth at the position. He has experience stopping the run and making special teams plays. However, if forced to play in a larger capacity, he may show Jets fans why Rams fans still speak his name with disdain.
Reeder's career
Reeder entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2019 and spent six seasons with the Rams. He also had a stint with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2022. Reeder has PFF grades of 45.7 and 57.9 in the 2023 and 2024 seasons, respectively.
The Jets' situation
The Jets have a lack of depth at inside linebacker, with Demario Davis and Jamien Sherwood as starters. Davis is 37 years old, and Sherwood is coming off a poor season. Reeder may be called upon to play in a larger capacity if needed.
What's next
Reeder will be joined on the practice squad by Trevin Wallace, a former third-round pick of the Carolina Panthers. It's possible that Reeder may be called upon to play in a larger capacity for the Jets, which could be a challenge for him and the team.
