Greg Van Roten, the first player the Jets called during free agency, officially signed his new contract Thursday.
The Rockville Centre product inked a three-year, $10.5 million contract to play guard for his favorite team growing up. Van Roten, 30, is a key piece of an offensive line that Jets general manager Joe Douglas has rebuilt.
“I can bring experience, perspective and just my ability as an offensive lineman and someone who’s been around the league for a while and has found a way to navigate it,” Van Roten said.
