Clemens signs tender

Restricted free agent Kellen Clemens has signed his one-year tender, leaving Leon Washington and Drew Coleman as the Jets' two remaining unrestricted free agents who've yet to ink their tenders.

But that could hinge on what happens with unrestricted free-agent linebacker Jason Taylor, given the Jets can currently only sign one unrestricted free agent because of the rules associated with being a "Final Four" team.
