The New York Jets acquired Haason Reddick to complete their edge rusher room.
Sounds like an accurate statement, right?
ESPN’s Rich Cimini suggested otherwise, though. In an article about the Reddick deal, he wrote, “They also have the reliable John Franklin-Myers, although he could be the odd-man out. His roster spot is vulnerable because of a $16.4 million cap charge.”
In theory, that sounds plausible. The Jets added one player with a $15 million cap charge, so they could shed the other. Even if Reddick isn’t a one-for-one replacement of Franklin-Myers stylistically, the room could be complete enough sans Franklin-Myers if the Jets choose to significantly increase Will McDonald’s role.
