DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - The Dallas Cowboys added depth to their secondary on Wednesday, signing former Jets cornerback Maurice Canady to a one-year deal.
The deal was first reported by Mike Garafalo of NFL Network.
#Cowboys have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with CB Maurice Canady, source says. Had three starts in 13 games with the #Jets and #Ravens last year.
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) March 18, 2020The move gives the Cowboys some depth in a secondary that have recently lost two starters to free agency this week in safety Jeff Heath, and cornerback Byron Jones.
Jones, who recently became the highest-paid corner in the NFL, leaves a gaping hole on the outside that will be difficult to replace.
A sixth-round pick in 2016 by the Baltimore Ravens, Canady was waived by the Ravens in November of last season, but quickly picked up by the Jets the following day.
With the Jets, Canady played in eight games, starting two, tallying two passes defended and seven assisted tackles.
