New Chiefs cornerback Mo Claiborne is ready for a fresh start

On Thursday, we got word that the Chiefs had come to terms with former New York Jets cornerback Morris Claiborne. The former first-round pick came into the league as the sixth overall selection of the 2012 NFL draft for the Dallas Cowboys. He showed great promise in his rookie season, but over the last four years of his Cowboys career, he missed half of the team’s games with injuries.

But over the last two seasons with the New York Jets, the 5-foot-11, 192-pound cornerback has been far more durable — starting 15 games in each of the last two seasons — and has demonstrated much of the ability he displayed as a rookie.
