The Jets signed defensive lineman Ben Barten on August 1 after he was released by the Giants earlier in the week. Barten, undrafted from Wisconsin, had 24 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and one sack in his last college season. The move comes as the Jets waived long snapper Garrison Grimes, leaving only veteran Thomas Hennessy as the long snapper in camp. Barten's signing adds depth to the defensive line ahead of the upcoming season.
