Before the 2022 season, Lemonier then signed with the Cardinals, but he never played a down there as the team released him during training camp.
Despite not playing for an NFL franchise in 2022, he was selected by the Arlington Renegades of the XFL in November. Lemonier signed with the Houston Gamblers in December, setting his sights on the USFL rather than the XFL. He was traded to the Birmingham Stallions, whose training camp is set to open in March, shortly after signing.
Lemonier was the younger sibling of former NFL player Corey Lemonier, who played for the 49ers for four seasons after being selected in 2013. Just a few days before his 26th birthday, Jessie passed away (Jan. 31).
