The Jets retained one of their cornerbacks just as they’re set to let one go.

Slot corner Brian Poole is returning to the Jets on a one-year, $5 million contract, a league source said.

Poole, 27, played 14 games for the Jets last season with 10 starts. The former Falcon had one interception that he returned for a touchdown in the Jets’ Week 11 victory over the Raiders.

Getting Poole back was an important move for Gregg Williams’ defense, but the Jets need much more help at cornerback.
