The NY Jets have decisions to make on 21 pending unrestricted free agents this offseason. One of those players is backup cornerback Maurice Canady.
The NY Jets have a few decisions to make on a number of important in-house free agents this offseason, but one player who is definitely flying under the radar is cornerback Maurice Canady.
Canady was picked up by the Jets in November of last year after the team suffered through a ton of injuries in the secondary. He would play in eight games with the Jets in 2019 making two starts and playing admirably after being thrust into action.
The 25-year-old originally entered the league as a 6th-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens back in 2016. Canady would play three and a half seasons with the Ravens seeing extended action in 2017 before being released in November of last year.
That’s when the Jets — needing depth in the secondary — swooped in and picked him up.

Unless that player is a key special teams contributor or actually has a role on offense or defense, NFL teams will usually look for cheaper, younger options to fill the back-end of the roster.
Even though he’s only 25-years-old and he played well last season, this is likely the trajectory that Canady will follow.
The Jets will most likely address the position in the 2020 NFL Draft and in free agency leaving little room for a player like Canady who could demand more money than his counterparts.
Still, there’s a chance that the Jets saw something in him last season and they choose to bring him back. If anything, it helps that he’s one of the few players on the roster who was a legitimate Joe Douglas acquisition.
