Lucky Whitehead has a new team.
Multiple outlets are reporting that the New York Jets claimed the former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver on Wednesday. The Cowboys announced they had cut Whitehead on Monday.
Whitehead, 25, had a bizarre end to his two-plus years with the Cowboys. A report surfaced Monday that a warrant in Virginia had been issued for Whitehead, who allegedly shoplifted. The Cowboys parted ways with Whitehead shortly after that.
But, by Tuesday morning, the authorities had said they misidentified Whitehead. It was a case of false identity.
The Cowboys stood by their decision, though, and coach Jason Garrett battled with reporters in a press conference.
