The Jets and cornerback Brian Poole have agreed to a one-year, $3.5 million contract, according to multiple reports.

The 26-year-old joins the Jets after spending three seasons with the Falcons, who did not tender the restricted free agent. Poole should replace Buster Skrine as the Jets' slot corner after Skrine signed with Chicago

Poole played in 47 out of a possible 48 games over his three seasons in Atlanta. In 2018, Poole had 74 combined tackles with three interceptions and three sacks, all career-highs.
