I think Purdum is a UFA and turning 33.  Probably not planning to re-sign him again.

The last thing a rebuilding team needs is a LS making more than the vet minimum.  Worst thing that could happen is a young guy screws up a few snaps, gets his experience in games you don't *really* care about winning anyway.

#Jets signed former #Texans OT Jeff Adams, who played at Columbia

 

The Jets have signed free agent tackle Jeff Adams.

Adams (6'7", 305) will be considered a fourth-year NFL player when the new league year begins, but 2017 will be his sixth season in the league and the Jets are the sixth team he's spent time with.

He began his pro career as an undrafted free agent out of Columbia with Dallas, was waived by the Cowboys in late August, then signed on with the Cincinnati and Miami practice squads in 2012 and the Titans' practice squad in '13.

Adams was acquired on waivers by Houston in early 2014 and finally got some playing time with the Texans — four games and two starts in 2014-15 combined. He began 2015 as the LG starter but injured his right knee and spent the rest of the season on Injured Reserve. He ended this past season on the Texans' practice squad.

Although he grew up in Illinois, Adams is now back in the area where he went to college, after playing four seasons for the Ivy League's Lions.

This makes 2 former Longhorn OTs that the Jets have on their roster with Hawkins as the other.  Jets are either going to find an OT or draft 1 or both

I know this is a late response, but...

Adams didn't go to Texas.  He was on the Texans.  He went to football powerhouse Columbia.  Hawkins is the only Longhorn they have on roster, but they actually two guys that went to Columbia (Adams and pending FA LB/STer Josh Martin)

Jets signed K Chandler Catanzaro, formerly of the Cardinals.

Catanzaro was a restricted free agent, but the Cardinals decided not to tender him before ultimately bringing in Phil Dawson. Catanzaro is coming off a difficult 2016 and has struggled with the new extra point distance. He will likely see some competition as the Jets attempt to replace Nick Folk.

Jets signed DT Mike Pennel to a one-year contract.

Pennel was mostly a reserve his three years in Green Bay, though he made three starts in 2015. He was waived after closing out 2016 with a four-game substance-abuse suspension. Going on 26, Pennel is a Dontari Poe-esque 6-foot-4, 332 pounds. He's depth for a top-heavy defensive line that massively underachieved in 2016.

Jets signed LB Spencer Paysinger, formerly of the Dolphins.

He's the domino after the release of longtime ILB David Harris. 29-year-old Paysinger (on June 28) played 334 snaps for Miami last season and will compete for a depth and special teams job with tanking Gang Green.

Jets released WR Eric Decker.

After announcing they planned to trade or release him at the end of last week, the Jets were true to their word. They saved $7.25M in cap space. The 30-year-old receiver is returning from hip and shoulder surgeries, but should have no issue finding immediate work. The Bills and Eagles are potential suitors given their pursuit of Jeremy Maclin. The move puts Quincy Enunwa in position to lead the Jets in targets and leaves rookie ArDarius Stewart with the largest and longest monetary commitment from the team at the wide receiver position. Decker, 30, averaged over 1,000 yards and ten touchdowns per season across 2012-2015 before his injury-shortened 2016.

The New York Jets are expected to sign running back and kick returner Jordan Todman to a contract, according to ESPN's Adam Caplan.

Todman, 27, recorded 59 rushing yards on nine attempts in 16 games last season for the Indianapolis Colts. As a kick returner, he totaled 16 returns for 478 yards, including a 99-yard return for a touchdown against the Green Bay Packers in Week 9.

A sixth-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers, Todman played 33 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2012 to 2014 and played 11 games with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2015.

Since coming out of college at Connecticut where he dominated the college ranks, Todman has struggled to find a secure and stable role with a team. Todman has the speed and burst to make him an intriguing potential special teamer and sub-package player, but his 5-foot-9, 198-pound frame makes him unable to be relied on as anything more than a specialist. Todman will have to battle rookie Elijah McGuire for what might be the third and final spot on the 53-man roster.

The Jets have added depth to their defensive line and brought in an inspirational figure in the process.

Gang Green on Friday signed defensive lineman Devon Still, whose seven-year-old daughter Leah engaged in a public battle with cancer in 2014 and 2015. Devon Still logged Leah’s fight on his social media account, and the family experienced an outpouring of support over the two years.

In March of 2015, Devon Still announced that Leah was cancer-free. In July of that same year, Devon and Leah received the Jimmy V Award at the ESPYs.

Still was drafted by the Bengals in the second round of the 2012 draft. He spent three seasons in Cincinnati before playing for the Texans last season.

The Jets also signed defensive lineman Jeremy Faulk on Friday. He played at Garden City (Kansas) Community College and spent rookie and mandatory minicamp with Gang Green as a tryout player.

The Jets waived/injured DL Brandin Bryant and placed DB Corey White on injured reserve to make room on the roster. White injured his back on the first day of training camp.
