Jets rumors: Former Chiefs TE Brian Parker signs with New York
By Matt Conner
A familiar face in tight end Brian Parker has landed with the New York Jets, once again.
Former Kansas City Chiefs tight end Brian Parker has found a new, yet familiar, home with the New York Jets. The 24-year-old spent spent just a few days with the Jets last season after they claimed him from waivers from Kansas City but couldn’t keep him after he failed his physical. Now he’s back again for hopefully what becomes a much longer stretch.
