A person with direct knowledge of Reed's contract confirmed the agreement to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team had not announced it; deals are not made official until the NFL’s league year begins Wednesday.

The Athletic first reported the deal with Reed, and NFL Network said it was for three years and worth $33 million.

Agent Sunny Shah confirmed Whitehead's agreement with the Jets, posting on Twitter the contract was for two years. Financial terms weren't immediately available.

The 25-year-old Reed will be reunited with Jets coach Robert Saleh, who was his defensive coordinator in San Francisco his first two seasons after being drafted in the fifth round in 2018 out of Kansas State.

The signing of Reed will help boost a young cornerbacks corps. He’s expected to start at one of the outside spots, with Bryce Hall and Brandin Echols — both starters last season — competing for the other. Hall is entering his third NFL season, while Echols is coming off his rookie year.
