The New York Jets signed veteran quarterback Tim Boyle and defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson on Thursday.
Terms of the deals were not disclosed, but NFL Network reported Boyle received a one-year deal.
Boyle spent his first two seasons with Green Bay (2019-20) and reunites with Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who held the same role with the Packers.
And Boyle ultimately could be reunited with fellow signal-caller Aaron Rodgers if the Jets and Packers can work out a deal for the four-time Most Valuable Player.
Boyle, 28, has spent his entire career in the NFC North. He appeared in one game with the Chicago Bears last season and made his only three NFL starts with the Detroit Lions in 2021.
Boyle is 0-3 as a starter and has completed 62.3 percent of his passes for 574 yards with three touchdowns and eight interceptions in 17 career games.
Jefferson, 30, last played for the Seattle Seahawks, where he played all 17 games (three starts) in 2022 and tallied a career-high 5.5 sacks.
In seven NFL campaigns with the Seahawks (2016-19, 2022), Buffalo Bills (2020) and Las Vegas Raiders (2021), Jefferson has amassed 158 tackles, 20.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries across 89 games (48 starts).
