Jets Claim DT Phidarian Mathis

According to Adam Schefter , the Jets have claimed DT Phidarian Mathis off the waiver wire from the Commanders. 

The former second-round pick is a run-stuffing option at defensive tackle and gives New York a cheap developmental player going forward. 

Mathis, 26, was a second-round pick to the Commanders out of Alabama in the 2022 NFL Draft.

He was in the third year of a four-year, $7.5 million rookie deal through with a base salary of $1,046,199 in 2024 when Washington waived him in December. 

In 2024, Mathis has appeared in 12 games for the Commanders and recorded 17 total tackles and a pass defended.
