The NY Jets addressed many positions of need during the recent free agency period. Specifically, the Jets solidified the defensive line with the signings of both Carl Lawson and Sheldon Rankins. They also added a potential starter in Jarrad Davis at linebacker.

However, one position that the team did not address in free agency was cornerback. Technically, newcomer Justin Hardee is listed as a cornerback, but will be used exclusively on special teams. Lamarcus Joyner was added as well, but will play safety this upcoming season.
