The Jets are on the verge of landing a key piece to their secondary and a replacement for Darrelle Revis. Cowboys free-agent cornerback Morris Claiborne is expected to sign with the Jets, ESPN reported Thursday.
Claiborne, 27, was the sixth overall pick in 2012, but injuries have hampered his production.
He was slowed by offseason wrist surgery prior to the start of his rookie season. He missed the final 12 games of 2014 after tearing a patellar tendon. He missed five games the following year because of ankle and hamstring injuries and had his promising 2016 campaign derailed by a groin injury that cost him nine games.
