Lands deal with Pittsburgh
Echols and the Steelers agreed on a two-year contract Friday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Echols spent the first four seasons of his career with the Jets, tallying 121 tackles, 16 defensed passes (including five interceptions, two of which were returned for a TD) and one fumble recovery over 57 regular-season games. He was used mostly in a rotational role last season, starting in just four of 16 contests while also working as a core special-teamer. Darius Slay and Joey Porter are slated to start at outside cornerback for Pittsburgh next year, so Echols could work behind that pair or compete to start in the slot.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Echols was selected in the sixth round of the 2021 draft by the Jets. A lack of established players ahead of him on the cornerback depth chart could lead to a surprisingly large role for Echols if he proves to be NFL-ready, but he'll likely start his career working mostly on special teams.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
New deal a priority for New York
Echols is a player the Jets would like to re-sign, Tony Pauline of Sportskeeda reports.
ANALYSIS
A sixth-round pick in 2021, Echols claimed a starting job in the secondary toward the end of last season after spending most of the prior two years on special teams. The Jets are expected to lose cornerback D.J. Reed in free agency this offseason, so retaining Echols would provide some continuity on the back end of the defense.
