Jets claim WR K.D. Cannon after 49ers waived him

The San Francisco 49ers surprised us this weekend when they decided to waive undrafted free agent wide receiver K.D. Cannon. It was not a long wait for Cannon to find a new team. The New York Jets have claimed him off waivers, according to NFL reporter Aaron Wilson.

The 49ers gave Cannon a $5,000 signing bonus and a $40,000 salary guarantee in signing him after the 2017 NFL draft. Cannon’s contract included offset language, per Matt Maiocco, so the Jets will pick up his $40,000 salary guarantee.
