The nyjets have signed rookie offensive tackle Mekhi Becton, the No. 11 overall pick in the NFL draft.
Becton is expected to compete with George Fant for the left tackle spot after being taken by the Jets out of Louisville.
“He brings an edge for us,” coach Adam Gase said on a conference call after Becton was drafted. “He brings nasty to our offensive line room.” The massive offensive tackle is 6-foot-7, 365 pounds and has impressive speed for a man his size — he ran a 5.12 40-yard dash at the combine in February. He has a 7-foot wingspan and played both tackle spots for the Cardinals during his college career.Zuniga’s deal is worth $4.73 million over four years. The 6-4, 255-pound defensive end played in only six games last season because of ankle injuries, but had 18 1/2 sacks in four years at Florida.
Morgan, expected to be a backup behind starter Sam Darnold and veteran Joe Flacco, signed a four-year, $4 million contract. The 6-4, 213-pound quarterback threw 40 touchdown passes with 12 interceptions as FIU’s starter the last two years after transferring from Bowling Green.
