According to Kimberly Jones the Jets have signed defensive end Jason Babin.
Free agent DE Jason Babin visited Jets Monday. Would be an intriguing addition to Rex Ryan's defense.

Jason Babin has agreed to terms with Jets, according to someone familiar with negotiations. Two-year deal.

The 34 year old Babin had 7.5 sacks for the Jaguars last year. His biggest years sack wise were in 2010 and 2011 when he had 12.5 sacks for the Titans and then 18 for the Eagles. The New York Jets have a solid defensive line, so it is expected that Babin will be used as a situational pass rusher. This move could have a big impact on Antwan Barnes, especially as he battles back from his injury. Barnes recently said he is probably past 70%, so the worst case scenario is the Jets added an insurance policy.
