NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — A person familiar with the deal says the New York Jets will sign former Oakland Raiders wide receiver-kick returner Jeremy Ross, pending a physical.
The person spoke Wednesday night to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team did not announce the agreement, which was first reported by ESPN.
