On the first day that teams can officially sign free agents, the Jets announced that they’re bringing back one of their backup running backs.

The Jets re-signed Josh Adams on Wednesday just before he was set to become a restricted free agent. Adams appeared in eight games last year, and carried the ball 29 times for 157 yards and rushed for a team-high tying two touchdowns. That speaks to how bad the Jets offense was last year.
