Tre Brown
Tre Brown is a veteran cornerback for the New York Jets, a former fourth-round pick of the Seattle Seahawks out of Oklahoma. He was placed on reserve/injured with a finger injury after the 2026 preseason finale.
Background & Path to the Jets
Brown, born 24 September 1997, played four seasons at Oklahoma from 2017 to 2020, appearing in 51 games and recording 141 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss and four interceptions.
Seattle drafted him in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, 137th overall, and he spent his first four professional seasons there, appearing in 39 games with 13 starts. His most productive year was 2023, when he set career highs with 34 tackles, six passes defensed and two interceptions — one of which he returned 40 yards for a touchdown against Detroit.
His 2025 was unsettled. He signed with San Francisco, was released with an injury settlement after a heel injury in August, was waived by the Rams in late October, and joined the Jets’ practice squad on 11 November 2025.
