FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The Jets' eight-man draft class finally is under contract. Injured WR Jordan White, a seventh-round pick, signed a four-year, $2.1 million contract, a source confirmed Thursday morning.

White was the last draft pick to sign, fueling speculation that his injury -- a fractured foot, suffered on the first day of OTAs -- complicated the negotiations. That isn't true. In fact, an agreement in principle had been in place for a couple of weeks; there were a couple of minor glitches that caused the delay.

White, recovering from surgery, is expected to return around the start of training camp in late July. Scout.com first reported the signing.
