Jets Work Out Kendall Langford

The Jets worked out free agent defensive end Kendall Langford on Wednesday, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com (on Twitter). The 31-year-old has been yo-yo’d on and off of the Saints roster. Earlier this week, he was dropped by New Orleans, freeing him up to seek out other opportunities. Kendall Langford (vertical)

The 31-year-old could be a contingency option for the Jets if help is needed on the defensive line. It’s not immediately clear if they are considering signing him right away, but it stands to reason that they will wait since they still need to free up room for the return of Jalin Marshall.

Langford spent the past two seasons with the Colts before being released in August. Before that, he was with the Dolphins and Rams. He had perfect attendance through eight seasons before he was slowed by injuries in 2016.

Langford had one of the best seasons in his career in ’15 as he registered 38 tackles and seven sacks. He might not be capable of that production any longer, but he could be a quality depth addition for the 2-2 Jets.
