The stars may be aligning for a huge Eagles & Jets trade
The New York Jets suffered a cruel blow yesterday, finding out that prized DE, Carl Lawson, is out for the season with a torn Achilles. There aren’t many teams who will be willing to part ways with a starting-caliber edge rusher at this point in the season, but the Eagles may be one such franchise in what could be an aligning of the stars.
Lawson signed a three-year deal worth $45M this offseason, following a 5.5 sack season with the Bengals, ranking among the NFL’s best in terms of QB pressures. He’s the highest paid player on the roster this season, earning $14.3M, and was the lead man in what is an otherwise forgettable edge rusher rotation.
