Jets Sign DT Ben Barten, Release Long Snapper Grimes

The Jets have made a move at the bottom of the defensive tackle depth chart by signing undrafted free agent Ben Barten after parting ways with rookie long snapper Garrison Grimes.

It seems no two outlets have Barten’s weight the same but Gang Green’s official site lists him at 330 pounds while others have him just under 320.  Either way, bringing in a high effort player at a crowded position group but until T’Vondre Sweat is at full speed, it makes sense.

The release of Grimes means that as expected, Thomas Hennessy wins the very brief long snapper battle.

Glenn was Born in the Bronx, New York and has followed the Jets religiously despite being stationed in several different countries and time zones around the world. He now resides in England and has been a JetNation member since 2005. Glenn will bleed green with the rest of us through the highs and lows.
