The Jets are adding some depth at offensive tackle.
The team is signing free agent Yodny Cajuste, according to a source.
Cajuste visited the Jets last week.
The 27-year-old was a third-round pick of the Patriots in 2019 out of West Virginia.
Cajuste has battled injuries throughout his career and did not play in a game until 2021.
He has appeared in 17 NFL games, making five starts, over the last two seasons.
The Jets have an interesting group of tackles set to fight for both the starting and backup jobs.

Brown had surgery to repair a left shoulder injury and Becton had right knee surgery last August and missed the entire 2022 season.
Max Mitchell showed promise as a rookie last year before he was lost for the season due to a medical condition.
