Arizona – The former defensive rear of the Cardinals of Arizona, Tony Jefferson, re -signal with the Los Angeles loaders, as announced by the team.
Jefferson entered the League for the first time as a free agent not drafted in 2013 with Arizona before spending the next four seasons with the cardinals, playing in at least 15 games each year. Jefferson finally emerged as leaving in his last year in the desert before hitting a free agency in the 2017 offseason.
The Baltimore Ravens would end up Jefferson ink in a $ 34 million contract over four years. He started the 35 games he played in the first three seasons before undergoing an ACL torn in 2019, which finally led to his release before 2020.
After not playing the following season, Jefferson played six games in total in 2021 after rebuilding between the Ravens training teams and the 49ers of San Francisco.
2022 saw Jefferson appears for the New York Giants, although the injuries have retained it again because it only played in nine games.
Jefferson retired from professional football (joining the Ravens as a scouting trainee) in 2023 before his return with the charge in 2024, where he played eight games.
Adjustment makes sense for both sides, according to Los Angeles official team site:
“Jefferson’s return is probably more a depth piece, but that does not highlight its importance for the defense.
“Jefferson played nine seasons with several teams before spending the 2023 season as a scouting trainee with the Ravens.
“He worked under the Director General of Loads, Joe Hortiz, who was then with Baltimore, and also played under the defensive coordinator of the Chargers Jesse Minter for three seasons with the Ravens (2017-2019).”
Jefferson is highly appreciated for his time with Arizona, while he has established himself as a favorite of fans of the cardinals.
By playing 121 games in ten years, Jefferson has collected 519 plated with 24 defended passes, 9.5 bags, eight forced escaped and four interceptions.
