Former Philadelphia Eagles sixth-round cornerback Rashad Barksdale was awarded to the New York Jets on a waiver claim, the team announced. Barksdale is a 6'0,” 208-pounder who has bounced around the NFL over the past few years. After being cut by the Eagles in 2007 after being drafted that spring, he signed with the Kansas City Chiefs. In six games with Kansas City, he registered nine tackles. However, Barksdale was cut by the Chiefs last year and was signed to the New York Giants’ practice squad. The Giants placed Barksdale on waivers on June 20. It’s unknown if any other teams placed a waiver claim on Barksdale.
