Overview

  • The Bengals, which announced the move Thursday, signed fifth-year corner Ja’Sir Taylor to a one-year contract.
  • Taylor is expected to compete for snaps as a depth option and special-teams contributor, with experience playing inside at slot corner.
  • He entered the league as a 2022 sixth-round pick by the Chargers and was traded to the Jets in November 2025 after 57 games in Los Angeles.
  • In 65 career regular-season games, he has 76 tackles, 15 pass breakups, one interception, one fumble recovery, and 21 special-teams tackles.
  • Cincinnati keeps flexibility with a small cap hit and still holds the No. 10 pick, with coverage help a clear priority after ranking 26th against the pass in 2025.
