It is comparable to the one-year deal he got last season. The Jets hadn’t talked to Colon or his representation before the start of legal tampering window. Once right tackle Austin Howard signed with the Oakland Raiders, the Jets needed to scramble to address the right side of their line including Colon.
He is recovering from a torn biceps suffered in the 2013 season finale.
