Just three days after voiding his deal and hitting the free agent market, defensive lineman Jason Babin is returning to the Jaguars, having agreed to a new deal with the team, according to J.P. Shadrick of Jaguars.com (via Twitter).
Even after voiding his previous contract, Babin was vocal about his desire to return to Jacksonville. Babin, who turns 34 in May, played in all 16 games last season, racking up 31 tackles, 7.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, and two passes defended. The well-traveled veteran has been with five clubs over the course of his NFL career and he won’t be making it six with today’s news.
The Jaguars have been extremely busy beefing up their defensive line today, also adding veterans Chris Clemons and Ziggy Hood.
