NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported Sunday that New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins is leaving for a $17 million, two-year deal with the New York Jets. Rankins had a busy free agency; Garafolo’s NFL Network colleague Tom Pelissero added that the Jets outbid an offer from the Cincinnati Bengals (who recently signed Rankins’ teammates Trey Hendrickson and Vonn Bell), while The Athletic’s Katherine Terrell added that the San Francisco 49ers and Las Vegas Raiders were each suitors.
