pass rush depth? holy hell.

trade incoming?

Read one article that said he played some off ball LBer when he was with the Niners a few years ago -- may be how we envision using him, and it would seem it would be a better route to the roster than DE.

True, we just need to get him ready for his 15% of snaps/game rotational role come regular season, right?

More like 5% based on the rate we're signing these guys. By the end of preseason we'll have more than half of the 53 man roster as pass rushers

The Jets were fortunate last season in that they suffered no real injuries on the defensive side of the ball, yet still both Johnson and Clemons were on the field for 27% of the defensive snaps, and a good portion of special teams snaps as well. The game rotation is deep which is why they can use some camp bodies to play out the preseason string. 
 
We’re hearing good things about McDonald. He appears to be a better natural pass rusher than last year’s additions. We’ll see what kind of workload he eventually earns.

We’re short at LB right now.  Saleh even talked about in a presser, that they needed to bring in players to camp, for practices.

I mean we are hurting for DE depth

Rich Cimini @RichCimini

No sign of Carl Lawson (back) on the practice field. #Jets

 

Probably reason for this move + he can play 4th Qtr of preseason games so Huff doesn't have to
