Linebacker Neville Hewitt will return to the Jets, as ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter tweets. He’ll sign a new one-year, $2MM deal to suit up for Gang Green in 2020.
Hewitt, 27 in April, spent most of 2017 on the Dolphins’ practice squad, but was promoted for the last six games of the regular season. He played only eleven snaps, but saw 66.5% playtime on special teams.
In 2018, he got a career break with the Jets. Over the last two years, he’s suited up in 16 games for them. There’s been a lot of turnover at the Meadowlands, but the new regime seems to like him as much as the old one.
Wow another nobody for the jets
Lol it’s comments like these that make me wonder if some of you understand football. First off, it’s a re-signing so it’s a “nobody” they already had, not “another” one. Secondly, there are 53 players on a roster. Are they supposed to sign only superstars and ruin their cap? How will they field special teams? Should they put Darnold and Bell on the punt team??
Hewitt was solid. Seems like a steal at this price. Might mean the end of Avery Williamson.
hey! the Jets signed someone!….baby steps
