Stevan Ridley has signed with the New York Jets.

Ridley's one-year contract with the Jets was finalized Wednesday.

"He's excited for the opportunity and his rehab is going strong at this point," Ridley's agent, Andy Simms, told The Associated Press.

Ridley, 26, only five months removed from major knee surgery, visited last week with the Jets. Ridley also met with Washington and the Miami Dolphins.
