Percy Harvin and John Conner aren’t the only former member of the Jets making the trip to Buffalo to play for Rex Ryan again this season.

The Bills announced Thursday that they have signed tight end Matthew Mulligan. Mulligan played his first NFL games with the Jets during Ryan’s first season as coach in 2009 and spent three years with the team. He’s bounced around the league since then, seeing action in St. Louis, New England, Chicago and Tennessee before landing with the Bills.

Mulligan has 16 career catches across all those stops, which illustrates that blocking and special teams work has made up the bulk of his professional portfolio. That should put him into competition to play behind Charles Clay on the depth chart this summer.

There should be another former Jet joining Ryan in Buffalo as well. The coach said Thursday that he thinks tackle Wayne Hunter will be added to the roster after a workout this week.

So he's going to make the same shit team that ran him out of New York?

The guy's ego is his biggest detriment.

How's that old adage go, the definition of 'Stupidity' Trying something that doesn't work over, and over, and over again!!

I appreciate players like Mulligan.
A guy who is JUST big and quick enough to stick around. Works hard at an unglamorous job. At the end of the day will end up being in the league for 10 or 12 years.

umm, inviting a veteran special team's guy who used to play for you years ago and is still bouncing around the league is not a big deal, and not a sign of retrying something that doesn't work.

Trading for Mark Sanchez would be such a sign, though.
