On Monday, the Jets announced the signing of guard Tom Compton. It’s a one-year deal, according to Manish Mehta of the Daily News (Twitter link).
Compton is not a star, but he does offer experience with 30 starts over the course of seven NFL seasons. The 6’6”, 315-pounder entered the league as a sixth-round pick of the Redskins in 2012 and spent four years in the nation’s capital before stints with the Falcons, Bears, and Vikings. Last year, he started 14 games at left guard for the Vikes, but he’s also spent time at right guard and right tackle.
The Jets figure to make more moves on the offensive line and former Eagles interior lineman Stefen Wisniewski could be part of the revamp.
Thank goodness I don’t have to watch that door open straight to Cousins anymore.
