The New York Jets signed WR Laveranues Coles, who already played for the Jets in 2000-2002 and 2005-2008, to a 1-year deal. Coles, 32, was drafted by the Gang Green in the 3rd round of the 2000 NFL Draft and had a career year in 2002 when he caught 89 passes for 1,264 yards. Last season Coles had only 43 receptions (his lowest output since rookie season) for 514 yards, 5 TDs.
Having lost all faith in QB Kellen Clemens' ability to be a solid backup to QB Mark Sanchez, the New York Jets signed QB Mark Brunell, a 39-year veteran who spent his best years with the Jaguars and the Redskins. Last two seasons Brunell served as Drew Brees' backup with the Saints where he won the Super Bowl last year.
