The Jets continued to fill in the roster with experienced depth, as new coach Todd Bowles tries to solidify his lines.
According to Rich Cimini of ESPNNewYork.com, the Jets have signed former Washington defensive end Stephen Bowen to a one-year deal.
Bowles was a Cowboys assistant coach when the soon-to-be 31-year-old Bowen was a rookie.
The Jets had previously signed Kevin Vickerson for a backup role behind their strong starting unit (Muhammad Wilkerson, Sheldon Richardson and Damon Harrison).
Bowen has been a productive player when well, but he’s still working back from his 2013 microfracture surgery, and started last year on the physically-unable-to-perform list.
