Jets Claim Cunningham Off Waivers; Cut Archer, Robinson
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The New York Jets have claimed tight end Jerome Cunningham off waivers from the Giants, and waived running back-kick returner Dri Archer.
Also Monday, the Jets signed cornerback Bryson Keeton, a tryout player in rookie minicamp over the weekend, and waived tight end Adrien Robinson.
Cunningham had his first eight NFL receptions last season for the Giants. He was signed as a rookie free agent in 2014 after going undrafted out of Southern Connecticut State in 2013.
Archer was signed by the Jets to a reserve-future contract in February after two seasons with Pittsburgh.
Keeton had 21 passes defensed in two seasons at Montana State.
Robinson was a fourth-round pick of the Giants in 2012, and signed a reserve-future contract with the Jets in January.
