Franks signs deal with the Jets

The New York Jets have signed three-time Pro Bowl tight end Bubba Franks to a one-year deal. 

Franks spent the last 8 seasons in Green Bay with the Packers, and is expected to be the backup to Chris Baker. 

Franks was relegated to backup duty behind Donald Lee last season.  He had a career-low 18 catches for 132 yards and three touchdowns in 8 games last season.
