Addition of Minter Should Mean new Role for Darron Lee

Of all the free agent moves the Jets have made this off-season, the one that has easily gotten the least attention in terms of the impact it could have not only for the Jets defense, but for one of their more recent first round draft picks in linebacker Darron Lee, is the addition of linebacker Kevin Minter.

Since his rookie year two seasons ago, Darron Lee has shown improvement, but more will be needed in 2018.

Minter, a four-year veteran with 44 pro starts under his belt played for Jets head coach Todd Bowles as a member of the Arizona Cardinals before spending 2017 with the Cincinnati Bengals prior to hitting free agency this off-season.
