Outside of a pure pass rusher, the greatest defensive weakness for the New York Jets entering this offseason is at the inside linebacker spot. The Jets finished the 2015 campaign platooning the aging David Harris with fellow veterans Erin Henderson and Demario Davis. With Davis and Henderson both scheduled to become free agents, all signs pointed to Gang Green letting Davis walk and making a concerted effort to resign Henderson, who had expressed interest in returning to New York.
Recent developments out of Los Angeles, may have thrown a wrench into this plan. In a salary dumping move, the Los Angeles Rams released several veterans who were at the core of their team for the last few years.
