According to their official site, The New York Jets have signed veteran defensive end Eric Hick (Kansas City).

Hicks, a nine-year NFL veteran, suffered the worst year of his professional career last season. He was reduced to a reserve role and managed to collect only seven tackles in 15 games. He also suffered through a few minor injuries.

Although no financial details have been given, this is a high risk, high reward type signing. Despite entering his 10th NFL season, Hicks is still relatively young at 30. If nothing else, he offers the Jets a proven player that can serve as a reserve and start if called upon.
