It didn’t take long for veteran guard Willie Colon to find a home with the Jets, as he quickly announced he hated the Patriots.

Now, they’ve guaranteed he’ll get to hate them for another year, as the team announced he had been re-signed.

Colon suffered a torn biceps in Week 17, but the sense is that he’ll be ready to go by training camp.

Their offensive line is in flux after losing right tackle Austin Howard, but he at least gives them a veteran guard option, as they look for more help.
