Cornerback Arthur Maulet didn’t get tendered a contract by the Jets as a restricted free agent, but he’s already headed back to the roster.
Maulet tweeted that he’s returning to the team on Friday and his agents announced that it will be a one-year deal.
Maulet signed with the Jets last January and started six of the 12 games that he played with the team. He had 38 tackles, an interception and a fumble recovery for a touchdown.
The Jets have also re-signed Brian Poole this week while Maurice Canady left as a free agent and Trumaine Johnson was released. Darryl Roberts and Nate Hairston also remain on hand at cornerback.
