Trading Calvin Pryor for Demario Davis adds needed depth at linebacker and allows the New York Jets to continue their “culture change.” Davis will re-join Gang Green after being traded from the Browns for Pryor. Pryor’s future with the team was far from certain after the Jets selected two safeties in the first two rounds of the draft.
The selections of Jamal Adams and Marcus Maye foreshadowed a trade involving Pryor. While the Jets need draft picks, they likely wouldn’t have received anything better than a 4th or 5th.
