The Jets have re-signed offensive lineman Willie Colon, the team announced today in a press release. According to Adam Caplan of ESPN.com (via Twitter), it’s a one-year, $2MM agreement.
Colon, who turns 31 next month, had been an unrestricted free agent, with a Monday report indicating that New York was trying to lock him up to a new deal. The former Steelers has consistently graded as an above-average pass blocker, according to Pro Football Focus (subscription required), but has struggled with penalties, being called for 12 in each of the last two seasons.
Colon will likely re-assume his spot as the Jets’ starting right guard for the 2014 season.
