The New York Jets added another starting-caliber player to their impressive defensive line, agreeing to terms with former Chicago Bears defensive end Jarvis Jenkins, his agents announced on Wednesday.
Jenkins is expected to sign a two-year contract for $7 million, including a $3 million guarantee, a league source said.
A short time later, the Jets finalized a previously reported contract with former Pittsburgh Steelers nose tackle Steve McLendon. It's a three-year contract that can max out at $12 million, according to his agent, Richard Kopelman. It includes a $4 million guarantee.
