The Jets signed Trevor Pryce yesterday, reuniting the former Ravens defensive end with coach Rex Ryan a day after the Ravens cut him.
Pryce didn’t even need to tell his agent where he wanted to go.
“There are certain things you don’t have to say, like water’s good for you or don’t spend your money in one place,’’ Pryce said. “He knew that if Rex called, that’s where I was going, no matter what, no matter who else called.’’
Pryce will get a chance to make an immediate impact in Sunday’s game at Buffalo, primarily in passing situations. He ranks fourth in sacks among active players with 90.
Pryce, a 14-year veteran, was a four-time Pro Bowl selection with Denver and played under Ryan in Baltimore when he was defensive coordinator.
Pryce was waived Wednesday by Baltimore to make room for safety Ken Hamlin. Ravens coach John Harbaugh said it was likely the team would re-sign him, but the Jets pounced first.
“We saw it as an opportunity,’’ Ryan said. “As soon as we saw they released him, we started trying to get him here.’’
Wrong number
Charity-minded callers are getting intercepted by a phone-sex line because of a typo on
Chad Ochocinco’s Cereal boxes.
The number is supposed to connect callers to Feed the Children, which benefits from sales of the Bengals wide receiver’s cereal. But the box has the wrong toll-free prefix, meaning callers get a seductive-sounding woman who makes risque suggestions.
Cincinnati-based Kroger Co. said it was pulling all Ochocinco cereal boxes from its grocery shelves because of the error.
