FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Continuing to address their offensive-line deficiencies, the New York Jets acquired guard Alex Lewis from the Baltimore Ravens for a 2020 conditional seventh-round pick, a source said.
Lewis announced Monday morning that he was being released by the Ravens, but they found a taker before placing him on waivers.
The Jets, who have the No. 3 waiver priority (based on last season's record), evidently felt there was a chance he'd be claimed by Arizona Cardinals or San Francisco 49ers. Lewis, who has one year remaining on his contract, is due to make $2 million in 2019.
