It isn’t going to lead the 11PM Sportscenter, but the New York Jets have struck again, signing former New Orleans cornerback and special teamer Justin Hardee to a 3 year contract.
Justin Hardee has agreed to a three-year deal with the Jets, per source.

Hardee, a former college WR, has experience at CB in the NFL but is best known for being one of the league’s top gunners, something the Jets were in desperate need of after finishing 29th in special teams in 2020.
In addition to being a key special teams player, Hardee was known to be a locker room favorite in New Orleans and, in what may make him a strong cultural fit here in New York, owns a pizza franchise in New Orleans (Ok, it is Papa John’s, but that’s at least pizza adjacent).
