Jets bring back linebacker revelation Brandon Copeland
Brandon CopelandPHOENIX — The Jets bolstered their pass rush on Monday by re-signing outside linebacker Brandon Copeland.
Copeland was one of the most pleasant surprises for the Jets in 2018. He had five sacks in his first year with the team. He started 10 games and had 10 tackles for a loss.
Pass rusher is one of the Jets’ biggest needs, and remains that way even with Copeland, but he helps. The Jets tried to sign Anthony Barr to fill the role, but Barr reneged on a verbal agreement with the Jets and returned to the Vikings.
