The “JFM role.”
It is something New York Jets fans have longed for the team to address since Joe Douglas’ bizarre decision to trade John Franklin-Myers ahead of the 2024 season.
Franklin-Myers made a name for himself in New York’s defense as a versatile weapon on the defensive line. At 6-foot-4 and 288 pounds with plus athleticism, Franklin-Myers had enough quickness to cause havoc as an interior pass rusher and enough size to set the edge effectively. The Jets would play him outside on early downs and kick him inside on passing downs.
After dealing Franklin-Myers, the Jets went through the 2024 season without an adequate replacement.
