The New York Jets’ interest in free agent edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney has been publicized over the past week-plus. Clowney reportedly met with the Jets a few days ago, although there have been no reports on how the meeting went.
What we didn’t know until now is that the Jets almost signed a different veteran edge rusher.
Appearing on the Zach Gelb Show, now-Miami Dolphins edge rusher Shaquil Barrett said he believed he would be joining the Jets all the way up until Miami “came out of left field” on the same day that he ended up signing.
