Jets trade for Ravens' Lewis to buoy offensive line

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Continuing to address their offensive-line deficiencies, the New York Jets acquired guard Alex Lewis from the Baltimore Ravens for a 2020 conditional seventh-round pick Monday.

The teams announced the deal, which is pending a physical.

Lewis had announced Monday morning that he was being released by the Ravens, but they found a taker before placing him on waivers.

The Jets, who have the No. 3 waiver priority (based on last season's record), evidently felt there was a chance he'd be claimed by the Arizona Cardinals or San Francisco 49ers.
