Cornerback Corey Ballentine is changing teams, but he won’t be changing home stadiums.
Ballentine was waived by the Giants on Tuesday and the Jets announced that they’ve made a successful waiver claim on him on Wednesday. That means Ballentine can move on to his new team without much upheaval to his life away from the team.
Ballentine was a sixth-round pick out of Washburn in 2019 and played in 13 games for the Giants as a rookie. He appeared in all nine of the team’s games this season before being dropped from the roster.
He has 42 tackles, two pass breakups, and a quarterback hit in those outings. He also averaged 23.5 yards on 19 kickoff returns.
