Despite being billed as a strong candidate to become a cap casualty, it is starting to appear very likely that seventh-year edge rusher Carl Lawson will return to the New York Jets in 2023. In a recent interview, head coach Robert Saleh all but guaranteed Lawson is coming back, saying Lawson “will be here as long as he can walk and play.”
If that’s the case, the Jets will be hoping Lawson can put together a bounce-back season. And when we say “bounce-back”, that doesn’t mean Lawson is trying to erase a poor season.
