New edge rusher for the New York Jets? Check.
That’s been a common theme of the offseason for Joe Douglas so far: systematically going through the team’s biggest holes and filling them with quality players. Edge rusher was not a need many Jets fans focused on, but Douglas and Robert Saleh felt that they needed another starter-quality player in their rotation. They acquired one in Haason Reddick while giving up only a modest return.
The trade for Reddick turns attention to the Jets’ other needs. We’ve talked about them several times, but the calculus shifts slightly every time the team makes another move.
