The New York Jets added more depth to their backfield by signing Baltimore Ravens halfback Musa Smith on Tuesday.
Terms of the deal weren't available.
The 25-year-old halfback played five seasons with the Ravens. He started only one game. The 232-pound Smith is big enough to help out at fullback and has enough running ability to be a backup running back.
The Jets, who hired former Nebraska and Raiders coach Bill Callahan to coordinate their running attack, plan to be more of a running team this season.
Smith has 496 career rushing yards on 132 carries. He was an unrestricted free agent.
