Does former 1st-rounder Darron Lee still have a future with the Jets?
The New York Jets have decided not to pick up linebacker Darron Lee’s fifth-year option, making him a free agent in 2020. Lee has been up and down for the Jets since he was drafted in 2016. With Lee set to become a free agent in 2020, what should the Jets do with Lee?
The New York Jets decided not to use the fifth-year option on linebacker Darron Lee on Friday, making the 2016 first round draft pick a free agent at the end of the 2019 season. This was expected by many since the end of the season and the case to decline the fifth year option grew stronger when the Jets signed linebacker C.J. Mosley in free agency back in March.
