The Jets have been nothing but subtraction lately, letting go of veteran running-back Thomas Jones and trading their much maligned safety, Kerry Rhodes, away to Arizona. The Jets have finally made a free-agent addition.
Former Browns safety Brodney Pool and the Jets have come to an agreement on a one-year contract that’s worth $1.3 million.
The deal amounts to a one-year try out for both Pool and the Jets. Pool, who has suffered four concussions in his career, is considered one wrong collision away from being knocked out of football…and possibly other endeavors. Should Pool suffer another setback and/or not impress the Jets brass, they can cut bait with no damage done.
The Jets, after trading the disgruntled Rhodes, left a gaping hole at one of their safety spots aside Jim Leonhard. If Pool can stay healthy, and avoid another concussion, it’ll work out well for both parties. Classic low risk/high reward signing for New York.
