The Jets added some depth to their cornerback room. New York announced on Wednesday that it has claimed cornerback Corey Ballentine off waivers from the Giants.
Ballentine played in nine games for the Giants this season, but only started in two of them. He was the Giants’ second cornerback until he lost his job to Issac Yiadom.
After that, he was mainly used on special teams by the Giants. Ballantine has registered 15 total tackles this season.
Ballentine was originally a sixth-round pick out of Washburn University in 2019. He played in 13 games in 2019 with two starts and recorded 26 total tackles, two pass defenses and one quarterback hit
