New York Jets face edgy situation; need a defensive end, but who's available?

A look at what's happening around the New York Jets:

1. Scouring the DE market: The double hit at defensive end -- first Carl Lawson, then Vinny Curry -- puts the Jets in a most unenviable situation. They're desperate for help at a position where there's not much league-wide inventory, and you know what that means: The cost to make a trade will be through the roof.

Still, Jets general manager Joe Douglas has to do something before the 2021 NFL regular season starts. Coach Robert Saleh can't be expected to run his defensive system, predicated on front-four pressure, when the top defensive ends are John Franklin-Myers, Bryce Huff and Ronnie Blair.
