Jets bring back cornerback Darryl Roberts, source says

The Jets are holding on to cornerback Darryl Roberts.

They came to terms on a deal with the pending free agent Monday, a league source confirmed. This was a small move for a team that is expected to be very busy this week.

The free-agent negotiation period began Monday, and the Jets have many holes to fill. One of them is in the secondary, where Roberts played well last season.

Roberts appeared in all 16 games, starting 10 of them, and played on special teams. He spelled Trumaine Johnson at corner when he was injured and Marcus Maye at safety when he was out.
