Cortland, NY – The New York Jets have signed wide receiver Braylon Edwards for a third time and also finalized a contract with first- round pick Sheldon Richardson.

In his first go-round with New York, Edwards caught 88 passes for 1,445 yards and 11 touchdowns. He added 10 receptions for 125 yards in three games last year.
The 30-year-old Michigan product spent his first five NFL seasons with Cleveland and has also played for San Francisco and Seattle. He has 359 career receptions for 5,522 yards and 40 touchdowns.
Richardson was the Jets' second pick of the first round and the 13th overall selection in April. The Missouri product had four sacks and led all SEC defensive tackles with 79 tackles in 2012.
