Logan Ryan eyeing Jets but 'completely open for business'
Logan Ryan remains one of the few big-name free agents on the open market, and the former Tennessee Titans cornerback is open to all options.
But signing with the New York Jets, who are reportedly confident they can land Ryan on a one-year deal, is of particular interest to the 29-year-old.
"The Jets, it makes a lot of sense because I'm from the area, I went to Rutgers, 20 minutes from there," Ryan said Thursday on NFL Network's "Good Morning Football." "So I'm familiar with New Jersey, I'm blue-collar, that's how I grew up. I came out of Rutgers in the third round to New England and had to do my job and I continue to do that. So, that would make sense for sure."
Ryan is believed to be seeking around $10 million per season, the same amount he was earning on his last contract with the Titans.
"Like I said, I'm trying to what's best for my family and everything like that. Obviously, there's a lot of rumors out there. I can't confirm any of it because I'm obviously still not signed yet," he continued. "We'll see. I obviously want to get a deal done whenever, and I'm open to it. So we'll what happens there. But I'm also open to pretty much 30 other franchises, except for the Titans. That's the only one I've ruled out thus far - I'm completely open for business."
The Jets reportedly have competition for Ryan's services from the AFC East rival Miami Dolphins, who are hoping to further bolster their secondary after landing top free-agent cornerback Byron Jones in March.
Ryan helped lead the Titans to the AFC Championship Game in 2019, racking up career highs in total tackles (113), sacks (4.5), and forced fumbles (four) in 16 games. The Pro Bowler also snagged four interceptions.
