The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... The Jets agreed to terms on a three-year deal with Cumberland on Friday night.
Diehards Line:According to Daily News staffer Manish Mehta, the organization is bullish on Cumberland’s ability to take that next step after flashes in his first four seasons. Cumberland, who will turn 27 this summer, had 26 receptions for 398 yards and a team-high four receiving touchdowns last season. He played second fiddle to veteran Kellen Winslow for earlier part of the season. The move doesn’t necessarily preclude the Jets from adding another tight end in free agency or the draft. Team decision makers are high on Zach Sudfield’s potential, but the Jets need as much as help as it can get for quarterback Geno Smith. Mehta reports that TEs Brandon Pettigrew, Ed Dickson and Scott Chandler might be of interest, too. The team is also expected to add at least one wide receiver in free agency.
