The Jets got Brian Poole for a bargain and he surpassed his expectations.

Poole was the Jets’ top cornerback this season in the slot. In 14 games, Poole had 48 total tackles, five pass defenses, one interception, one forced fumble, a safety and a touchdown. He was the only cornerback that could be trusted on a weekly basis.

Poole will be an unrestricted free agent during the offseason, but the Jets have to make it a priority to re-sign him. After his first season, he is well worth getting a raise in order to keep him around for a few more years.
