Jets waive goodbye to Darryl Roberts, leaves questions at cornerback position

The Jets waived starting cornerback Darryl Roberts on Saturday, freeing up $6 million in cap room.

This move was expected since Roberts was guaranteed $2 million if he was on the roster on Sunday. But in a manner of days, general manager Joe Douglas released both cornerbacks who started in Week 1 last season. Trumaine Johnson was cut on Wednesday.

In four years (56 games) with the Jets, Roberts had 172 tackles and three interceptions.

Douglas will need to address the cornerback position after these moves. As of now, the corners are on the roster are Arthur Maulet, Bless Austin, Nate Hairson and nickel corner Brian Poole.
