Jets Revamp Defence, Add Fitzpatrick, Davis, Ossai, Onyemata, Wright
The New York Jets have been revamping their defence this offseason. New York acquired safety Minkah Fitzpatrick in a trade and have added multiple other players.
The New York Jets acquired Minkah Fitzpatrick via trade before free agency opened, according to Sports Illustrated. Fitzpatrick, a five-time Pro Bowler, fills a safety void for New York. The Jets have also brought back linebacker Demario Davis. Other defensive additions for the Jets include defensive end Joseph Ossai, defensive tackle David Onyemata, and cornerback Nahshon Wright. New York also acquired nose tackle T'Vondre Sweat from the Tennessee Titans for Jermaine Johnson II. Sports Illustrated suggests the Jets should remain open to further additions to their pass rush.
