Jets re-sign TE Franks

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Tight end Bubba Frank re-signed with the New York Jets on Tuesday.

The 10-year veteran got a one-year contract.

Franks will complement starter Dustin Keller, who had a strong 2008 season as a rookie. Neither Franks nor Keller is considered much of a blocker.

Last season, Franks caught six passes for 47 yards in eight games, and missed eight with a hip injury. In all, Franks has played in 122 games, making 98 starts, with 262 receptions for 2,347 yards and 32 touchdowns. He spent eight seasons with Green Bay, where he had 32 TD catches.

The Jets lost tight end Chris Baker to New England as a free agent.
