Jets Add Muscle, Shuffle Special Teams | New York Jets News

The Jets just added a big, gritty defensive lineman in undrafted free agent Ben Barten—6’5”, 330 lbs—to bolster their run-stopping front, after releasing long snapper Garrison Grimes. Barten brings solid college stats from Wisconsin, excelling as a consistent tackler and contributor to tackles for loss. With T’Vondre Sweat still developing, this move adds depth and high-effort energy to a crowded defensive line. Meanwhile, Thomas Hennessy locks down the long snapper role, sealing a quick and expected special teams decision. It’s another small but strategic step in the Jets’ ongoing rebuild.
