KRL Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000927933/article/jets-working-out-veterans-lamarr-houston-chris-jones Ahead of the Thursday's draft, most NFL teams will attempt to fill some of the remaining holes on their rosters with stopgap players, negating some of the necessity of over-drafting certain positions. In that vein, the New York Jets are working out a host of free agent defensive linemen. Gang Green is working out former Bears pass rusher Lamarr Houston and ex-Patriots defensive tackle Chris Jones, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport adds the Jets are hosting ex-Rams defensive lineman Tyrunn Walker and former Browns defensive lineman Lavar Edwards. New York also recently brought in former Chiefsdefensive tackle Jaye Howard, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo further supplied. Clearly the Jets are attempting to find some veteran help in the front seven after jettisoning both Sheldon Richardson and Muhammad Wilkerson in the last eight months. We'll let you know if one of our NFL Network reporters hear of any of these players getting signed in New York. The first reporter to get the scoop receivers a gold star. Stay tuned.

mrcoops Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Suspect the Jets will add one pre-draft. Macc likes to go into a draft with no glaring holes. I would go for Walker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesr Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I guess Hankins is not on the radar anymore, based on the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Wasn't Houston supposed to be a 4-3 DT coming out, but the Raiders played him at DE? I think the Bears played him at 3-4 OLB and he got a bunch of sacks when he wasn't tearing ACLs. Any of the Chicago guys have a report? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These workouts could also send a message to Hankins that the Jets are prepared to move on, and won't wait on him forever. My feeling on Hankins is that he is holding out for a bigger contract than the market will offer. He was overpaid by the Colts, and no-one else is prepared to make the same mistake.

mrcoops Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Jay Bromley also amongst the group working out. I'd definitely sign him - has some talent, still young (not yet 26), can play DT in a 4 man line or DE in a 3-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTJetsFan Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Anyone know why there's been no discussion of bringing David Bass back? Had 3.5 sacks and 25 tackles in 13 games for us last year and is only 27. Listed as 6'4 267lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was actually a phenomenal year for defensive talent. Houston, Linval Joseph i remember, Dunlap, Atkins... Thornton too if memory serves. Not gonna bring up Antonio Brown and Jimmy Graham.

jetstream23 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 In theory, 3-4 DEs should be much easier to find than Edge guys but the Jets still seem to be turning over a lot of rocks in their search. While I support Macc trying to at least give the illusion of not having a glaring need, I don't want him to overpay or give a JAG any type of significant commitment. DLine is a position where I see the Jets making a waiver wire pickup in August when someone springs loose from a team with a deep line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyLV Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Maybe we are considering trading Leonard like we should. We may still be able to get a first. In my opinion, a defensive lineman that is very good but not a consistent backfield disruption is really not worth more than the off the field JAGs that provide competent defensive line play.
