Today’s announcement by the Jets has confirmed the earlier report that the Jets have indeed signed WR Thomas Mayo. They have also announced the signings of DT Junior Aumavae and DB Eric Crocker. Here’s the press release information on all 3 players:
Aumavae (6’2″, 310/Minnesota State/Palmer, AK) entered the NFL as a free agent with Dallas on April 20 last year and was waived prior to the Cowboys’ training camp. He spent time with the Tampa Bay Storm of the AFL as well as the Green Bay Blizzard and the Fairbank Grizzlies of the Indoor Football League.
Crocker (6’2″, 195/Arkansas-Monticello/Stockton, CA) enters the NFL as a free agent after spending the 2012 season with the San Antonio Talons of the AFL, for whom he registered 70.5 tackles, two forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, 13 passes defensed and three interceptions.
