The Jets signed free agent defensive end Rodrique Wright Tuesday, throwing a lifeline to a player that once appeared headed for a promising career.
Wright, once a big-time talent at Texas, started nine games for Miami in 2007. But he’s played only one game since and was out of the league last year after getting cut by the Dolphins last September.
The Jets are limited in the types of free agents they can sign because of the rules governing the uncapped year.
