Star Ledger Report: Jets Sign QB Tuiasosopo

Dave Hutchinson of the Newark Star Ledger is reporting that the Jets have reached an agreement with unrestricted free-agent quarterback Marques Tuiasosopo.  He says a deal should be in place shortly.

The 28 year old Tuiasosopo who stands 6’1″ and weighs 220lbs is entering his 7th NFL season.  He was originally a 2nd round pick by the Raiders in the 2001 NFL Draft.  He has seen limited action in his previous 6 seasons.  The Jets are making this move to have a veteran backup on the roster.  Marques will have the opportunity to compete for the backup QB job but will most likely serve as the #3 QB this season.
