A healthy scratch the last few games, Jefferson will be free to join a new squad. Jefferson had one sack and one solo tackle for the Browns in five games as a rotational lineman, playing 141 snaps.

Jefferson totaled 34 tackles and six sacks in his lone season with the Jets. the former fifth-round pick has played four four different teams over the last four years, and will now join a fifth team in the Browns. Jefferson earned a PFF pass rush grade of 73.2 last season and will likely serve as a rotational player next season.

Jefferson posted a career-high six sacks in 14 games with the Jets this season. Set to hit free agency this offseason, the veteran defensive tackle should have a decent market heading into his age-31 season. Selected by the Seahawks in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, Jefferson has played for four different teams over the last four seasons but has totaled three or more sacks each season. He’ll be a solid contributor next season once healthy.

The 30-year-old went down in the first half and was ruled out after the break. Jefferson has been playing roughly 50 percent of the Jets’ snaps this season. “Hip” can be one of the least desirable injury designations, so Jefferson’s season could be through.
