The NY Jets have a number of key internal free agents to make decisions on in the coming weeks. And perhaps the most important of which will be cornerback Brian Poole.
Poole was signed by the Jets to a cheap, one-year, prove-it deal this past offseason worth just $3 million. But by the end of the season, it’s safe to say that he significantly outplayed that meager contract.
The nickel cornerback played perhaps the best season of his NFL career providing stability to a previously unstable cornerback group. While the likes of Trumaine Johnson and Darryl Roberts faltered and were later replaced, Poole remained steadfast holding down his starting role for the entire year.
