The Jets retained one of their cornerbacks just as they’re set to let one go.
Slot corner Brian Poole is returning to the Jets on a one-year, $5 million contract, a league source said.
Poole, 27, played 14 games for the Jets last season with 10 starts. The former Falcon had one interception that he returned for a touchdown in the Jets’ Week 11 victory over the Raiders.
Getting Poole back was an important move for Gregg Williams’ defense, but the Jets need much more help at cornerback. They’re expected to waive Trumaine Johnson on Wednesday after two disappointing seasons with the Jets.
