Overview

• The Jets announced on August 29 that they signed cornerback Korie Black to their practice squad after he cleared waivers.
• The Giants had waived Black after their initial 53-man roster to accommodate waiver additions, including Rico Payton and Beau Brade, expecting to re-sign him to their practice squad.
• Black went unclaimed and, with offers reportedly from both teams, chose the Jets’ practice squad rather than returning to the Giants.
• Reporters cited recent Giants-Jets joint practices and a preseason game as key exposure that helped prompt the Jets’ interest; in New York, Black fills a spot the Jets had earmarked for Jarrick Bernard-Converse, who was claimed by the Browns.
• Black, a 2025 seventh-round pick out of Oklahoma State, is the first Joe Schoen draft pick to be cut as a rookie with the Giants.
