NEW YORK _ Joe Douglas continued to chip away at remaking the Jets roster with a few tweaks to clear salary cap space and add depth. The Jets freed up $6 million by cutting Darryl Roberts, who started 10 games each of the past two seasons at cornerback and safety.
The Jets added to their secondary agreeing to a one-year deal with former Rams safety Marqui Christian, according to a source. Christian, a 2016 fifth-round pick by the Cardinals, played a third of the defensive snaps and was a core special teamer for Los Angeles the past two seasons. He had 36 combined tackles in each season with the Rams.
The Jets also agreed to a one-year deal with former Colts and Eagles veteran reserve center/guard Josh Andrews, who was in Philly with Douglas.
Douglas has taken a methodical approach in the first week of free agency with a series of relatively safe signings. He's placed special emphasis on the offensive line to improve a suspect group from a year ago.
