Poteat's back

The Jets just announced that they have re-signed cornerback Hank Poteat, who was an unrestricted free agent. It's not a huge surprise, considering he hadn't drawn much interest on the open market, and he is a favorite of coach Eric Mangini, who also coached Poteat in New England. Haven't gotten the financial terms yet, but I'm sure the one-year contract was at a price friendly to the Jets, likely the veteran minimum of $730,000.

Poteat, who has started 15 games for the Jets over the past two seasons, could have a chance to reclaim his starting spot at RCB opposite Darrelle Revis. That wouldn't be bad, as the veteran certainly is a good enough 'hold-the-fort guy' [to use a Bill Parcellsism] until fourth-round pick Dwight Lowery is ready to start. This also could mean the Jets might part ways with veteran David Barrett on June 1.
