Maurice Canady became the first Jets free agent to find a new home this offseason.
Canady agreed to a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. Canady spent half of the 2019 season with the Jets and the other half with the Ravens. He joined the Jets after being claimed off waivers in November from Baltimore, where he spent the three previous seasons.
Canady played relatively well for the Jets’ banged-up secondary down the stretch. He made three starts between the two teams and was one of eight corners to start a game with New York in 2019.
With the Jets re-signing Brian Poole to a one-year deal on Wednesday, there are still moves to be made. Canady is a solid depth piece but primarily excelled in the slot. Re-signing Poole made Canady expendable, leading to his departure to Dallas.
The Jets made the decision to release Trumiane Johnson and have one to make on Darryl Roberts. Other than Roberts, Bless Austin, Nate Hairston and Kyron Brown are the only remaining cornerbacks on the active roster.
