Jets Keep Antonio Cromartie

The Jets retained another of their important unrestricted free agents early Monday morning, agreeing to a four-year deal with cornerback Antonio Cromartie. The Jets intensified their pursuit of Cromartie after the team’s top free-agent target, Nnamdi Asomugha, signed with Philadelphia on Friday.

Cromartie, who also attracted interest from Oakland and San Francisco, will again pair up with Darrelle Revis. Cornerback depth was a pressing need for the Jets, who lost Drew Coleman to Jacksonville. Cromartie, acquired from San Diego in March 2010, had 3 interceptions, a fumble recovery and 41 tackles last season for the Jets.
