Buzz: Jets to sign safety JJ Wilcox?
Some intrigue here...
Former Cowboys’ and Steelers’ S JJ Wilcox was in 49ers’ offices to sign today...and then he “flipped”, in word of one source, and decided he wanted to play for HC Todd Bowles. “He got stage fright,” said another source. Now Wilcox is on flight to NJ to sign with Jets - if no flip

The 27-year old Wilcox, a former third-round pick, was a full-time starter with the Cowboys early on in his career but has started just five games since 2015 and only one last year.
He has 226 tackles and six interceptions in his career and, if he did sign, would presumably compete for a back-up role with Rontez Miles and Terrence Brooks, while offering some cover if Marcus Maye continues to be limited by his ankle issues.
We'll break Wilcox down in more detail in due course if this deal happens.
