The Jets reportedly made an unsuccessful waiver claim for Tim Wright, but that didn’t lead them to bring their quest to add a former Patriots tight end to a halt.
The team announced on Monday that they have signed Steve Maneri, who has had a pair of stints with New England over the course of his career. The Jets made room for Maneri on the roster by dropping yet another former Patriot in Zach Sudfeld. Sudfeld has been waived/injured as a result of a torn ACL.
Maneri played one game for the Patriots last season and also spent time on the team’s active roster and practice squad during the 2010 season.
