The Jets signed former Bears and Ravens tight end Daniel Brown to a contract, according to his agent.

Brown, 26, played in 14 games last season but did not record a completion on offense. He spent most of his time on special teams.

Since debuting with Baltimore in 2015, Brown has 35 catches for 317 yards and one touchdown.

Brown's signing adds depth to the Jets' rostered tight ends. New York also has Chris Herndon and Jordan Leggett after they did not tender deals to tight ends Eric Tomlinson or Clive Walford.
