Free agent safety Brodney Pool did not receive a second-round tender from his former team the Cleveland Browns; however, after becoming an unrestricted free agent, he received a one-year deal from another team, the New York Jets.
According to latest reports, Pool and the Jets have agreed in principle to the one-year contract worth $1.3 million on Thursday. And Pool’s agent Ben Dogra gold reporters that the deal also includes a $1.2 million guaranteed money.
“He’s going to sign there and have a great opportunity to play in a terrific defense under Rex Ryan,” Dogra said. “It was the No. 1 place for him and hopefully it’s the first year of many for him there as a New York Jet.”
At age 25, Pool was expected to replace Kerry Rhodes, who was traded by the Jets to the Arizona Cardinals last weekend. However, he has been suffering head injuries that caused him to miss the Browns’ final five games last season. Before that he had had at least three concussions.
Regardless of his health condition, Pool has done pretty good job since putting on the Browns jersey in 2005 as a second-round pick out of Oklahoma. He had 50 tackles, four interceptions and a sack before being injured at Cincinnati in Week 12. Having 11 interceptions and 4 sacks in five seasons, he also holds the Browns’ franchise record of interception return that went 100 yards for a score in a 2007-season game against the Baltimore Ravens.
