Hempstead, NY - The Jets announce their first signing of an unrestricted free agent today, Khalid Abdullah. Abdullah comes from Cincinnati where he was a 5th round pick in the 2003 draft. Abdullah was a starter his two seasons with the Bengals, and is still developing. The Jets envision him working in both at the weak and strong side, behind Vilma and Bailey. Abdullah can play the run "OK," as head coach McGregor said, but McGregor also added the Abdullah has the ability to be a "fierce pass rusher." Abdullah last season recorded 4 sacks, and has 6.5 sacks over his two seasons. Abdullah is 26 years old, 6'2" and 225 pounds. He graduated out of the small college, Mars Hill.

The Jets also announced that they have made an offer on cornerback, Jacoby Shepherd. Shepherd who has been courted by the Eagles, was officially offered a contract. The Jets who did not guarentee him a starting position, like Philadelphia, but did tell him he would have a chance to compete with Molden.

The Jets look to stand tight through stage 6, and are awaiting word on guard, Steve Sciullo.
