Free-agent linebacker Erin Henderson is re-signing with the Jets on a two-year deal worth up to $5 million, a source confirmed to Newsday.
His base salary will be a little over $3 million, but he stands to make more with incentives and escalators.
Henderson, who turns 30 in July, was a question mark when he arrived last offseason as a free agent making the veteran minimum ($745,000). But by November, he was splitting reps with Demario Davis.
And with Davis signing his own free-agent deal with Cleveland last week, Henderson emerges as a candidate to start at that inside linebacker spot.
