New York Jets OG Greg Van Roten addresses signing with his ‘hometown team’

One of the needs for the New York Jets heading into this offseason was to bolster the offensive line. General manager Joe Douglas has done that thus far, and one of his better moves is the signing of veteran guard Greg Van Roten to a three-year deal. The 30-year-old previously spent the last three seasons with the Carolina Panthers.

But what many don’t know is that Van Roten was actually a Jets fan at an early age. So obviously, this is sort of a dream come true for him, and he was able to express his excitement Monday on WFAN Sports Radio.
