The Jets have added more depth to their defensive line.

SNY NFL Insider Connor Hughes reports that the Jets are signing veteran defensive tackle Al Woods.

Woods, 36, has played for five different teams during his pro career, spending the last three seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, including two seasons as a starter.

Listed at 6-foot-4, 330 pounds, Woods has been a run-stuffing force during his pro career, and figures to slide in as a rotational nose tackle for the Jets in Robert Saleh’s defense.

Woods has just 9.0 sacks for his career, as pass-rushing isn’t exactly what he does best, but exactly half of them have come in the last three seasons.
