The Jets have reportedly joined the Bills in the bidding for free agent CB Drayton Florence.
The Jets are aiming for Nnamdi Asomugha and Antonio Cromartie opposite Darrelle Revis, so Florence would be more along the lines of insurance for Kyle Wilson. The Bills have made no secret that they want Florence back.

Citing a source connected to the team, BuffaloSportsDaily.com reports that the Bills "have every intention of quickly re-signing" free agent CB Drayton Florence
We have no idea how reliable Buffalo Sports Daily is, but the source cited spoke pretty emphatically about Florence. "He's a strong, physical corner that is an asset not just in the passing game but against the run," the source said. "As you can tell by the guys (the Bills) drafted, being stronger and more physical on the defensive side of the ball is the organization's top priority. Being that type of defense plays to (Florence's) strengths." If the Bills re-sign Florence and really want Aaron Williams to be their Week 1 nickel back, it's fair to wonder if Leodis McKelvin might be available for trade.
