Having spent six seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers Colon signed a one-year $1.2 million deal with the Jets in March 2013 but was a free agent before re-signing with the team today.
Not only does Colon fill a position of need but brings a veteran presence to a young team as well as a leadership role within the locker room.
