Keller signed a one-year contract worth $4.25 million, according to a source.

“I’m with the team I want to be with,” Keller told the South Florida media. “Everything is perfect right now.”

The AFC East rivals appear to be headed in opposite directions. The Jets have lost five free agents while the Dolphins have waged a spending spree this week, signing wide receiver Mike Wallace and linebackers Dannell Ellerbe and Philip Wheeler.

The Dolphins wanted to surround second-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill with more weapons, and they have done that by signing Keller and Wallace and retaining wide receiver Brian Hartline.

Keller’s departure comes two days after running back Shonn Greene bolted the Jets for the Tennessee Titans. Greene and Keller were key players on the 2009 and 2010 teams that reached the AFC Championship Game.

The Jets replaced Greene, signing former Oakland Raiders backup Mike Goodson on Friday to a three-year, $6.9 million contract.

The Jets finished 28th in scoring offense last season, and it’s not looking any better. Coordinator Marty Mornhinweg may have understated the matter on Monday, the day before free agency began, when he referred to his new job as a “great challenge.”

Even though they have about $14 million in cap room, the Jets didn’t make a strong push to keep Keller, Mark Sanchez’s favorite target. Keller had been hoping for a long-term deal, but he didn’t garner as much interest as expected. He signed with the Dolphins after concluding a two-day visit.

Instead of committing significant money to Keller, the Jets’ plan is to start holdover Jeff Cumberland, who caught a career-high 29 passes last season. The Dolphins needed a tight end to replace Anthony Fasano, who signed with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Keller was rebuffed last offseason when he approached the Jets about a long-term extension. There were some rumblings about the franchise tag ($6.06 million), but that never materialized. In fact, there had been little contact between the two sides in recent weeks, a source said.

A first-round pick in 2008, Keller was on the ascent until last season, when he missed eight games due to hamstring and ankle injuries, the first time in his career he missed a game.

Keller finished with career lows for catches (28), receiving yards (317) and touchdowns (two), lousy timing in a contract year. His career yardage total is 2,876, fourth in Jets history among tight ends.

The Jets added another potential starter on offense, signing former Pittsburgh Steelers guard Willie Colon to a one-year, $1.2 million contract, a source said. Brandon Moore and Matt Slauson, last year’s starting guards, are free agents, so the Jets were in the market for a low-cost insurance policy. Colon, released by the Steelers earlier this week, switched to left guard in 2012 after playing right tackle. He played well, but he missed five games late in the year due to a knee injury. Injures have tormented him in recent years. He played only one game in 2010 and 2011, missing the entire ’10 season with a torn Achilles’ tendon. It will be a homecoming for Colon, who grew up in the Bronx and attended Hofstra.

A source confirmed to ESPNNewYork.com the planned tender for Cruz, which hasn’t yet officially been made by the team.

The two sides have been unable to reach an extension so the team will tender the highest RFA tender available, worth $2.879 million for this season, to Cruz.

The first-round tender also means that the Giants will have “the right of first refusal” if another team makes Cruz a lucrative contract offer. The Giants can match any deal made by another team or receive a first-round pick as compensation if they refuse to match.

The Giants also tendered safety Stevie Brown and running back Andre Brown at second-round tenders, worth $2.023 million in salary. Mara, speaking to reporters at an NFL event, said the team did not tender restricted free agent running back Ryan Torain, who still could re-sign with the team later.

The Giants want to re-sign Cruz to a long-term deal but the two sides have been apart on financial terms. Cruz’s camp will want to see how much wide receivers like the recently traded Percy Harvin, and free agents Greg Jennings and Mike Wallace will sign for soon.

The Giants are taking a risk by tendering Cruz since their cap space is somewhat limited and they still need to re-sign free agents such as left guard Kevin Boothe and tight end Martellus Bennett. The team also wants to sign Hakeem Nicks to a long-term extension with the wide receiver entering the final year of his deal.

Teams typically do not show much interest in restricted free agents but Cruz, 26, is coming off two incredibly productive seasons with a total of 168 catches for 2,628 yards and 19 touchdowns.

The Giants hope that the RFA tender will allow them to keep Cruz for this season and give them more time to negotiate a long-term extension.
