New York Jets should survive loss of Avery Williamson

News broke from the team on Friday that New York Jets’ star linebacker Avery Williamson will miss the entire 2019 season with a torn ACL. Williamson was a leader and the play-caller for the Jets defense. His presence will be missed in the middle of the field.

The Jets signed Williamson to a three-year, $22.5 million deal in the 2018 offseason. In his first season with New York, he posted Pro Bowl worthy numbers: 120 tackles, one interception, three sacks, and six pass break-ups.

Williamson was growing as a leader and a player with Gang Green.
