NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — While the Jets have generated headlines for showing several big-name players the exits, they made a couple of moves Thursday aimed at preventing two of their younger players from leaving.
The team announced it has tendered restricted free agent cornerback Marcus Williams and center Wesley Johnson at the second-round level.
The Jets had until 4 p.m. Thursday to make the offers, which guarantee those players at least a one-year, $2.746 million contract. If another team wants to sign either player, the Jets would have the option of matching the offer or receiving a second-round draft pick from that team.
