Jets sign CB Torrence; waive Vakapuna/Wilson
CORTLAND -- The Jets tweaked their ever-changing roster again on Wednesday, parting ways with fullback Fui Vakapuna and safety Tracy Wilson.
The signed former Ohio State cornerback Devon Torrence, who was a member of the Bengals’ practice squad for four months last season, was signed by the Vikings as an undrafted rookie free agent in July 2011.
Torrence (6-0, 190) originally started his collegiate career as a wide receiver before switching to corner his sophomore season. He started 23 games and recorded 91 tackles as a member of the 2009 Rose Bowl championship team.
In college, Torrence was touted for his football I.Q. and zone-coverage. But the question mark surrounding his game is whether he can be just as good in man-coverage.
