The NY Jets have completely checked off one huge offseason item on their to-do-list: secure the depth at linebacker in free agency.
On Monday afternoon, Gang Green announced they had re-signed James Burgess to a one-year deal. Burgess was a non-tendered restricted free agent and had an opportunity to test the waters over the last week.
This is the second linebacker the NY Jets have retained this offseason including Neville Hewitt last week who were pending free agents.
The Jets also had former Pro Bowler CJ Mosley and Avery Williamson already on the roster under contract.
