Overview
- SNY's Connor Hughes reports New York is "high on" Jamel Dean and will explore a deal in free agency.
- Spotrac currently projects Dean's next contract at three years and $37 million.
- Dean posted standout 2025 numbers, including a top-10 PFF coverage grade and three interceptions.
- Durability is a concern, as he has never played a full season and has missed at least two games each year.
- Cornerback help is urgent with Paulson Adebo holding one spot and Cor'Dale Flott in free agency after a pass defense that ranked 16th in 2025, and multiple teams are expected to compete for Dean.
