The team also waived DL Ben Barten and edge Kingsley Jonathan.<\/p>\n<p>Lynn (6-3, 252) played collegiately at William &amp; Mary and finished his career ranked second in school history in sacks (28) and third in TFL (40). He was also the Tribe&#8217;s career record holder for forced fumbles with 12 before going undrafted in 2024. Lynn initially signed with the Detroit Lions and tore a ligament in his shoulder before spending the &#8217;24 season on injured reserve. Lynn participated in the Lions&#8217; training camp in 2025 and later joined the Tennessee Titans&#8217; practice squad last November. He signed a reserve\/future contract with Tennessee in January and was waived by the Titans on April 30, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Garber (6-0, 188) played collegiately at Kansas State from 2019-24. In 40 games for the Wildcats from 2022-24, Garber had 52 tackles, 11 PDs and 2 INTs. He went undrafted in 2025 and signed with the Minnesota Vikings before being released. Garber spent time on the practice squads of the Indianapolis Colts and Detroit Lions last season.<\/p>\n<p>Barten (6-5, 324) signed with the Jets on Aug. 1 after he waived by the New York Giants. The lineman was an undrafted free agent out of Wisconsin, and he spent his entire collegiate career as a Badger. In 2025 he played 360 snaps on defense and had a career-high 24 tackles including 2.5 TFLs and one sack.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan (6-4, 260) signed a reserve futures deal with the Jets in January. \u00a0Added to the practice squad last December, Jonathan played in the Jets&#8217; season finale against the Bills. \u00a0The Syracuse product, who went undrafted in 2022, was the first overall pick in the 2022 CFL Global Draft, which is limited to a pool of non-Canadian and non-American players. Kingsley, who was born in Nigeria and grew up in Baltimore, signed with the Bills in 2022 and had a stint with the Bears as a rookie before he returned to Buffalo. He played in 15 games for the Bills over three seasons and totaled 6 tackles and 3 QB hits on 121 defensive snaps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Jets have signed edge Nate Lynn and CB Keenan Garber.
