The New York Jets are signing right tackle Morgan Moses to a one-year deal, sources confirmed to ESPN on Friday.
Moses, 30, released by the Washington Football Team on May 20 in a salary-cap move, will compete with incumbent George Fant at right tackle.
Not only do the Jets get a proven starter in Moses, but it increases their depth and flexibility. If Fant loses out to Moses, which is the likely scenario, he can be the backup/swing tackle.
This is another aggressive move by general manager Joe Douglas, who made it a priority to rebuild one of the league's worst offensive lines.
