Late Free Agency

The Jets have completed their roster for the start of training camp. The Jets are going to go into camp with 56 players on their roster competing for 53 spots.

Late Free Agency signings include:
J.P. Machado, C - Machado joined the Jets in 1999 when he was selected in the 6th round out of Illinois. Machado has been reliable behind Mawae. Machado will continue to handle the long snapping responsibilities.

Tim Rattay, QB - signed from San Francisco, Rattay was drafted in the 7th round of the 2000 draft by the 49ers. Rattay has thrown just 50 passes in the NFL behind Garcia in San Francisco. The Jets are hopeful he can become the team's second string quarterback. Rattay works the short passes well and has the quick release to avoid the sack.

David Terrell, WR - The Bears released Terrell to get out from under his big contract. The Jets signed Terrell to be another big guy to go along with Calico and the smaller Chrebet and Moss. Terrell will primarily play the SE position behind either Calico or Chrebet. Terrell caught 53 passes last season for 573 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Jonathan Carter, WR - The Jets chose to resign Carter for a second season. Carter caught only 1 pass last season, but does have the ability to provide the big play.
