The Jets have been in the process of refurbishing their linebacker corps. At OLB, Calvin Pace is gone, with rookie Jordan Jenkins and young vet Mike Catapano vying to replace him. Lorenzo Mauldin has moved in on the other side, bumping Sheldon Richardson back to fulltime on the D-line. Inside, Demario Davis departed, with Erin Henderson and first-round pick Darron Lee stepping in.
The only remaining starter is old reliable David Harris. And with his shoulder bruise, Harris may be forced to sit out the opener against the Bengals, which would mean four new starters across the LB board compared to last year's opener against the Browns.
