Released by the Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday, veteran Ben Hartsock got a one-year contract from the New York on Wednesday, at least his agent Mike McCartney said so, and the Jets have not made an announcement yet, but it was known that they have waived punter Glenn Pakulak.
The 29-year-old Hartsock joined the NFL in 2004 as the 5th pick in the 3rd round to wear the colts jersey. He spent his first two seasons with the Colts and another two with the Tennessee Titans. Having 27 catches for 273 yards in five seasons, Hartsock, however, will fill Jets need for a blocking tight end.
In order to find a prime blocking tight end, the Jets have been seeking among undrafted free agents Jack Simmons and Kevin Brock, converted defensive lineman Kareem Brown and offensive linemen Wayne Hunter and Rob Turner, and Hartsock is just one of the choices, so it is still uncertain whether he could play in the Jets’ preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night.
