The Jets added some much-needed depth at cornerback on Wednesday by acquiring Nate Hairston from the Colts for a 2020 sixth-round pick.
The deal is pending Hairston, a third-year cornerback, passing a physical. The cornerback position has been considered the Jets’ weak link since training camp started. General manager Joe Douglas said last week that he would be looking to upgrade there.
The 6-foot, 185-pound Hairston was a fifth-round pick of the Colts in 2017.
