The Jets have signed linebacker Freddie Bishop III, the former Canadian Football League pass-rushing DE, to a contract.

Bishop (6'4", 265), whose signing was announced today, comes to the Green & White from the Calgary Stampeders, where he capped his 2015 season with an 11-sack regular season, tied for fourth in the CFL, plus one more in the playoffs.

Bishop, 25, hails from the state of Michigan. He was an all-state defender as a senior at Airport HS, then spent five seasons at Western Michigan. After his redshirt freshman season, he had 15 sacks and 31.5 tackles for loss in four seasons as a Broncos defensive lineman.
