It isn’t often that elite pass rushers become available on the open market, especially in a league in which getting to the quarterback is so important. But with Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack engaged in an extended contract holdout, there could be a rare opportunity for a team in need of a sack specialist.
Should the Jets be interested? Hell yes, they should be interested, and GM Mike Maccagnan has already put out feelers about a potential deal.
The Jets haven’t had a big-time pass rusher since the days of John Abraham and Shaun Ellis, and repeated attempts to find one have all too often resulted in first-round disappointments such as Quinton Coples and Vernon Gholston, one of the biggest busts in franchise history.
