Source: Jets to add edge rusher Jacob Martin from Texans
The Jets finally landed an edge rusher in free agency.
Former Texans defensive end Jacob Martin will sign a three-year deal worth up to $16.5 million, a league source said. Martin, 26, has 13.5 sacks in four seasons.
Martin is not a splashy name with huge sack numbers, but he is quick and explosive off the ball -- and he’s coming off his best season.
The 6-foot-2, 242-pound Martin had four sacks – one on Zach Wilson - five tackles for loss and a career-high 38 pressures, according to Pro Football Focus.
