The Jets on Thursday signed former Texans cornerback Darryl Morris to a one-year deal, sources confirmed to Newsday.
Morris, 25, became an unrestricted free agent after Houston chose not to make a qualifying offer. He had eight defensive tackles and seven tackles on special teams in 12 games last season.
In 2014, he recorded 30 tackles, six passes defensed and one interception in 11 games.
“It’s an honor and pleasure to have been a Houston Texans the past two seasons,” wrote the cornerback, who posted a photo on social media signing his new contract while wearing a Jets cap and shirt.
