The New York Jets haven’t employed a consistent pass rusher in years. In fact, the last player to record double-digit sacks for the team was Muhammad Wilkerson back in 2015 (12.0), and he did that as an interior defensive lineman. New York’s last edge rusher to hit double-digit sacks was Calvin Pace in 2013 (10.0), but the 10-sack total massively oversells his impact as he ranked 59th at his position with only 32 pressures that season.
So, yeah, it’s been a while since the Jets had someone on the edge who kept opposing offensive coordinators up at night.
