Price tag for new Jets DT Javon Kinlaw Should Raise Eyebrows

When it was announced just a couple of days ago that the Jets had signed free agent defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw, the move was met with a lukewarm response. A veteran player for what many likely assumed to be a couple of million dollars.

Javon Kinlaw’s contract with the #Jets:

1 year
$7.
