Jets' signing of WR Quinton Patton all about familiarity, depth

Continuing to shop in the bargain aisle, the New York Jets have signed free-agent wide receiver Quinton Patton, formerly of the San Francisco 49ers. This is a "connection" signing, and the connection is offensive coordinator John Morton. He was Patton's first position coach with the 49ers in 2013.

Terms: Not immediately available, but it's likely a one-year contract with a small amount of guaranteed money.

ESPN 150 ranking: Not ranked.

Grade -- C: Patton is the first wide-receiver add since they released Brandon Marshall, but he's not expected to replace Marshall.
