Marcus Cooper was once an unearthed gem for the Kansas City Chiefs. An undrafted free agent who ended up making impact plays in the Chiefs secondary, Cooper went through some struggles before being let go by John Dorsey. Since that time, Cooper has once again impressed during a recent stint with the Arizona Cardinals, and now he’s entering free agency with at least two AFC teams considering him for their own secondary.
Steelers have been in contact with Cardinals DB Marcus Cooper (6-foot-2, 4 INTs in 2016). Jets reportedly interested.

The New York Jets make sense for Cooper since he would have played for then defensive coordinator Todd Bowles in Arizona.
