Jets Sign TE Bubba Franks

The Jets reached an agreement with free agent tight end Bubba Franks.  Bubba who is coming off an injury shortened season is expected to be the # 2 tight end behind Chris Baker.

Franks was released by Green Bay after a season in which he lost his starting job to Donald Lee.  He will provide depth and experience and is still considered to be a good run blocker, so the Jets prove once again that they intend to improve the ground game in 2008.
