Jets bring back revelation Henry Anderson for $25.2 million

The Jets re-upped one of their own on the eve of free agency, reaching a deal to keep defensive lineman Henry Anderson.

Anderson agreed on a three-year, $25.2 million deal, according to a source. He was the team’s top free agent, and the Jets made sure he could not leave when free agency opens on Wednesday at 4 p.m.

The 27-year-old Anderson was a nice surprise for the Jets last year. General manager Mike Maccagnan acquired him from the Colts in a draft-day trade last year. The Jets sent Indianapolis a seventh-round pick and never thought they would get the type of production they got.
