Reeder is a classic late-career special-teams linebacker: an eight-year veteran who has bounced between the Rams, Chargers, Lions and now the Jets, picked up specifically to stabilize the coverage units after a roster crunch. He is not part of the base defensive plan but brings experience teams value in that role.
Strengths: Veteran special-teams reliability and tackling instincts built over more than 100 career regular-season games.
Weaknesses: Limited to a core special-teams role with no clear path to meaningful defensive snaps in New York.
