New York calls on Steve Weatherford when Ryan Quigley is listed as questionable
NEW YORK — Steve Weatherford was co-hosting a radio show Saturday morning when he got the phone call — and not from just any listener.
The New York Jets were on the line — his cellphone — and they were offering the veteran punter a job.
A few hours later, Weatherford was back with the Jets. Punter Ryan Quigley had been added to the team’s injury list as questionable with an injured right shin, and New York needed someone Sunday against the New England Patriots.
