Tony Jefferson is making an NFL comeback. After spending a year in retirement, the 32-year-old safety is planning to play this upcoming season, he confirmed via social media. Jefferson posted a video to his official X account with the caption that reads, “We are so back. Dialed in.”
Jefferson announced his retirement from the NFL in March of 2023 after spending 10 seasons in the league and playing for four different franchises. He entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Oklahoma in 2013 and signed on with the Cardinals. He spent four years in Arizona before beginning the first of two stints with the Ravens, initially signing a four-year, $34 million deal in March of 2017.
Jefferson started in all 35 of his games played for Baltimore from 2017 to 2019 before suffering a torn ACL that ended his season and his first go-around with the club. He had a brief tenure with the 49ers in 2020 before returning to the Ravens. The last time he played in an NFL game came in January of 2023 (Week 18 of the 2022 season) as a member of the New York Giants.
