In a move aimed at bolstering their offensive line, the New York Jets have made a strategic signing, bringing in veteran free agent offensive guard Rodger Saffold to their practice squad. The news was reported by renowned NFL insider Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The 13-year veteran lineman is well-versed in various positions along the offensive line, having effectively played both left tackle and right guard over the course of his career. Saffold's versatility and experience are expected to provide valuable depth and depth to the Jets' offensive line unit.

Selected as a second-round pick by the St. Louis Rams in the 2010 NFL Draft, Saffold spent nine productive seasons with the Rams, three with the Titans, and most recently, one with the Bills.

With the acquisition of Rodger Saffold, the Jets hope to solidify their offensive line by adding a reliable and seasoned player to their roster. Fans will undoubtedly keep a close eye on the team's future plans, eagerly awaiting news of Saffold's promotion from the practice squad to the active roster.
