Tight ends Adam Trautman and Nick Vannett and cornerback Ken Crawley could all be back within a matter of weeks, but cornerback Brian Poole and defensive tackle Jalen Dalton were placed on injured reserve and won’t be eligible to return this season.

Patrick Robinson retiring, adding to New Orleans Saints’ CB dilemma

METAIRIE, La. — Veteran cornerback Patrick Robinson has decided to retire after 11 seasons, adding to the New Orleans Saints’ pressing need at the position.

LB Kwon Alexander agrees to re-sign with New Orleans Saints, agent says

They agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $3 million, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. It’s a birthday present of sorts for Alexander, who turned 27 on Tuesday.

Rebuilding New York Jets continue roster shake-up, release veteran cornerback Pierre Desir

The move, not unexpected, opens a starting position for rookie Bryce Hall, who replaced Desir in the Week 9 loss to the New England Patriots. The Jets (0-9) had a bye last weekend.

2020 NFL offseason winners and losers: QBs, free agents, teams and trends

Let’s break down some of the winners and losers from this NFL offseason. Some of the stories in the short term were obvious — you don’t need me to tell you again who won the DeAndre Hopkins trade — but I’m going to try to take a look at the bigger picture to see how […]

Best signings of 2020 NFL free agency: Barnwell’s nine top grades, with Brady, Brees and Rivers

Most deals signed in NFL free agency turn out to be disappointing. Teams pay players expecting the best seasons from their past, but it rarely works out that way. As a result, most of my grades tend to be a C+ or below. Call me a tough grader, but ask the Jets how their massive […]

Source: CB Pierre Desir joins Jets a day after Colts cut him

Desir, 29, released Saturday by the Colts, will sign a one-year contract, another source said. The Jets were in the market for a cornerback after parting ways with Darryl Roberts and Trumaine Johnson in recent days. They re-signed nickelback Brian Poole but still needed help on the outside. They turned to Desir after he was […]

Jets cut former starting CB Darryl Roberts, save $6M

Roberts, one year removed from a three-year, $18 million contract extension, opened last season as a starter opposite Trumaine Johnson. On Thursday, the Jets released Johnson in another long-anticipated move. The Jets faced a deadline on Roberts because $2 million of his $5 million base salary for 2020 would have become fully guaranteed Sunday, the […]
