Briggs’ potential impact could be see as early as the Jets’ preseason finale against the Eagles on Friday, though it remains to be seen if he’ll be up to speed by that point.
The 23-year-old was a seventh-round pick by Cleveland in 2024 after playing at Virginia and Cincinnati — a teammate of cornerback Sauce Gardner’s — posting 170 tackles and 12 sacks over 59 games.
As a pro, Briggs got into six games as a rookie, notching 13 tackles and a pair of QB hits.
The trade comes as training camps are coming to a close, with teams trying to exact any extra value from player on the roster cutline.
The Jets have yet to announce any formal roster cuts.
