The Jets are retaining OL Ben Ijalana, a source tells Mike Garafolo of NFL.com (on Twitter). It will be a two-year, $11MM deal.
Ijalana offers versatility on the offensive line and he stepped up to play left tackle when called upon in 2016. He’s not exactly a world-beater, however. Ijalana got a 47.6 overall score from Pro Football Focus, ranking him as the No. 60 tackle in the NFL last year out of 78 qualified players.
