Adam Gase is beginning to bring in some familiar faces in his role as Jets interim GM. 

The Jets announced on Monday that they signed punter Matt Darr to their 90-man roster. 

Darr, 26, was the Dolphins' punter in 2016 when Gase began his tenure in Miami but was waived in September 2017. He was signed by the Buffalo Bills late last season and appeared in five games. 

 

Darr joins a competition with Lachlan Edwards, who has been the Jets' punter the past three seasons. 

Edwards averaged 45.9 yards per punt last season, which ranked ninth in the league. Darr has a career average a tick below Edwards' 2018 season mark at 45.4 yards per punt.
