Signed by Gang Green
The Jets signed Twyman to a contract Sunday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The move comes with the Jets placing wide receiver Malik Taylor (undisclosed) on injured reserve. Twyman was a sixth-round selection by the Vikings in the 2021 NFL Draft, but he has not played a single NFL snap. He was part of Miami's training camp in 2023 but did not make the Dolphins' 53-man roster and was not invited to their practice squad. Twyman will compete for a depth spot on the Jets' defensive line behind starters Quinnen Williams (shoulder) and Javon Kinlaw.
