hmhertz Posted March 17, 2022 Author Share Posted March 17, 2022 The Jets are sign former Texans DE Jacob Martin to a 3-year deal worth up to $15.5M, per source. The 26-year old had 4.0 sacks for Houston last season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRL Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I wonder if Martin played limited snaps as a situational pass rusher because his production isn't fantastic. If he did see limited snaps then Douglas/Saleh must be betting on his upside: https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/3138764/jacob-martin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that I get that he's fast, a speed rusher lacking in power. Not the kind of guy that can bull rush anyone, but will be able to catch a T off-guard on occasion and get into the backfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTJetsFan Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Slightly different # reported here The Jets have been active in the early days of free agency and their moves now include the addition of a pass rusher to their defense. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the team has struck a deal with former Texans edge rusher Jacob Martin. It’s a three-year, $13.5 million deal with $6 million in guaranteed money. Martin was a 2018 sixth-round pick of the Seahawks and he was traded to the Texans before his second NFL season. He played a rotational role in his first two seasons in Houston before starting 14 games in 2021. Martin had 23 tackles and four sacks in his final year with the Texans and has 13.5 career sacks. Jets will sign Jacob Martin originally appeared on Pro Football Talk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus with the Saving Private Ryan level injury occurrences we need as many guys that can at some level, any level could rush the passer. All we hear is “ Saleh’s defense needs a pass rush!” After last year those two better make sure they have one they can sustain for the entire season. Period! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 This is the kid from Temple? I think he was too small for the 3-4, but evidently the Seahawks liked him. Pretty sure this is Josh Martin's brother. The guy from Colombia that played well here under Bowles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockeJET Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I love that we are filling most of all our needs before the draft. It really puts us in a great situation to take best available player And not panic on a certain position. Wide receiver remains one of our major needs and that’s about it. I have a feeling either via trade or signing we will have another wide receiver on the roster before the draft. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news we are actually getting productive pieces versus guys off the street which we seemed to do a lot of the last 5 or 6 years. many of these moves will not stop us from drafting these same positions in April and at that point, we should have the best depth we have had in a decade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScarletKnight89 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 This guy looks like a pass rush specialist. He had 4 sacks, 2 QB hits, and 32 QB hurries last year. So he's definitely someone who can come in as a depth/rotational player on passing downs and be productive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
