Jets re-sign Antonio Cromartie to multi-year deal

The Jets finally do something they should have done all along -- re-sign one of their own free agents.

Antonio Cromartie returns to the Jets, after signing a four year $32 million deal with Gang Green. Cromartie, who formed a very good tandem with Darrell Revis last season, will reprise his role, after the Jets spent way too much time courting Nnamdi Asomugha, a player they didn't have the money to spend on in the first place.

The Raiders and 49ers were apparently pursuing Cromartie, and willing to pay top dollar for him, according to ESPN, but the corner decided to return to New York since he had a better chance to win a Super Bowl ring.

Now the Jets have re-signed two of the four key free agents, with only Brad Smith, signing with the Bills, and Braylon Edwards, unsigned, out of the mix.

The Jets have no intention, as of now, of bringing back Edwards after the inked Plaxico Burress to a one year deal.

Look for the Jets to now address nose tackle and defensive end. Shaun Ellis, another one of their own free agents is still out there in free agency. The Jets then have to address back-up quarterback. There are some solid back-ups out there in Marc Bulger and Billy Volek.
