Coming off a really rough year when he was injured, retaining Cromartie was arguably not the most attractive option for the Jets to fix a secondary that looked like a major weakness. Now that some of the top cornerbacks have come off the board in free agency, it is not entirely clear where the Jets will go to fill their need on the outside. Bringing back Cromartie now seems like potentially one of the best options still available.
Of course he also has a good track record in the NFL. Even coming off a rough 2013, he will probably have teams interested in his services, which might make him relatively expensive to bring back.
UPDATE:
Hearing from a team source that right now, Jets won't try to match current offer from Cardinals for Cromartie. #nyjets
