Should New York Jets take a flier on veteran cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick?

The New York Jets might have to deal with some inconsistencies at the cornerback position in 2020. Currently, their most probable starting options are Pierre Desir, Bless Austin, and rookie Bryce Hall (notable mentions to Arthur Maulet and Quincy Wilson).

After releasing Trumaine Johnson and his lofty contract, the Jets didn’t do much to secure a capable veteran, especially one that can fill the number one corner spot he’s leaving behind. Then again, Johnson barely played in any games last season, playing in a total of 17 contests over the past two years.

Ultimately, the Jets need to find a veteran corner to supplement injuries and lack of experience.
