The New York Jets continue to add quarterbacks.

Former Vikings signal-caller Teddy Bridgewater signed a one-year contract with the Jets with a maximum value of $15 million, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The 2014 first-round selection is the second quarterback to sign with New York this offseason, as the team also brought back 2017 starter Josh McCown on a one-year deal.

Bridgewater missed all of 2016 with a gruesome knee injury and played in just one contest last year. In 2015 - his most recent season as a starter - Bridgewater completed 65 percent of his passes for 14 touchdowns and nine interceptions.

The Jets currently hold the No. 6 overall pick in April's draft, and short-term pacts with both Bridgewater and McCown may not stop them from using their selection on a signal-caller. Bryce Petty and 2016 second-rounder Christian Hackenberg are firmly on the roster bubble.
