According to Mehta, Zuniga’s deal is a four-year pact for $4.73 million dollars. Looking to remedy an anemic pass rush, the Jets rolled the dice on Zuniga who battled some injuries in college, but showed a knack to disrupt opposing quarterbacks. With Zuniga in the fold, that leaves only first-round pick Mekhi Becton and third-round safety Ashtyn Davis among the team’s rookie class yet to sign.
