Former Vikings WR Aundrae Allison has been claimed from the waiver wire by the New York Jets, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus (via Twitter), and is expected to contribute immediately.

The Jets have been searching for an impact player across from WR Jerricho Cotchery for some time now, but Allison isn’t likely to be that just yet. He does offer the Jets a solid speed option in the passing game, along with a potential game breaker on special teams.
