Jets Sign Joe McKnight

While the beginning of his tenure wearing green may have been a bit rocky when he showed up out of shape for minicamp, all of that is now water under the bridge.

The Jets have officially signed 4th-round USC tailback Joe McKnight. This makes McKnight the second Jets draftee they have inked, FB John Conner being the first.

This leaves Vladimir Ducasse and Kyle Wilson as the two left to be signed.

If vomiting at your first minicamp in the NFL didn't welcome him to the Jets, then we at GGN will do it:

Welcome!

They’re probably waiting to see what NE pays McCourty, and I don’t think that’s happened yet.
