Breaking: Jets sign DB Hardee
Day two has been quiet (so far), but the Jets just bolstered their special teams:
Justin Hardee has agreed to a three-year deal with the Jets, per source.

The 27-year old former undrafted free agent Hardee is a special teams monster and one of the best punt gunners in the NFL. He has 32 special teams tackles and a blocked punt that he returned for a touchdown during his four year career.
When he does play on defense, Hardee will line up as an outside cornerback, but he played just one defensive snap last season, so clearly special teams contributions are what he's been signed for. He was a wide receiver in college.
