Former LSU linebacker Kevin Minter signs with New York Jets

The New York Jets have signed free agent linebacker Kevin Minter and wide receiver Charles Johnson.

Johnson becomes the 17th receiver on the Jets' roster, which includes Jermaine Kearse, Robby Anderson, Quincy Enunwa and recently signed Terrelle Pryor.

Johnson was signed by Carolina last offseason after three seasons in Minnesota. He was waived-injured last July after having surgery on his right knee. Johnson was a seventh-round pick of Green Bay in 2013 and also spent time with Cleveland as a rookie. He has 60 career catches for 834 yards and two touchdowns -- both from current Jets quarterback Teddy Bridgewater while they were in Minnesota in 2014.
