Jets blew a perfect opportunity to sign veteran Micheal Clemons replacement

The New York Jets are in a very difficult spot as it pertains to fourth-year defensive end Micheal Clemons. While he is not a very good player and has a penchant for committing ill-advised penalties, the Jets don't have the means to replace him.

Will McDonald and Jermaine Johnson are quality starters, but they are polar opposites of one another. The banged-up Johnson is a great run defender who will never be a double-digit sack artist, while McDonald is one of the best young pass rushers in the league and arguably the single-worst run defender.
