Cornerback

The cornerback position was a scattered mess heading into the 2019 season. Fourtanetly, DC Gregg Williams was able to get a lot out of little.

Two moves that should be made almost immediately by Joe Douglas? Move on from corners Trumaine Johnson and Darryl Roberts, who are easy cap casualties after poor play and injuries riddled their 2019 seasons.

Brian Poole played like one of the best nickel cornerbacks in the NFL and should be re-signed, while young players Blessuan Austin, Arthur Maulet and Maurice Canady all held their own despite minimal experience. Still, the Jets are lacking a true No. 1 cornerback and depth at the position.

With other pressing needs, however, it’s hard to imagine the Jets will break the bank for another member of the secondary after how the Johnson contract turned out. James Bradberry and Byron Jones may be out of the Jets’ price range, while players like Jimmy Smith, Logan Ryan, Ronald Darby, Eli Apple, Trae Waynes, Mackensie Alexander and Kendall Fuller present intriguing options.
