Source: Ben Ijalana to return to Jets as left tackle insurance
Ben Ijalana has played only five snaps with the Jets over three seasons. Andrew Weber/USA Today SportsThe New York Jets began the post-D'Brickashaw Ferguson era by reuniting with his longtime understudy, Ben Ijalana, a free agent who has agreed to a one-year contract, a league source confirmed Saturday.
Ijalana, 26, spent the last three seasons as the Jets' backup left tackle, but he never played the position in a game because Ferguson never missed a snap. In fact, Ijalana appeared in only three games and played just five snaps from 2013 to 2015, filling in at other spots on the offensive line.
