The New York Jets might not be entering the 2026 season as Super Bowl or playoff contenders, but Aaron Glenn is coaching for his job, and needs the team to play better.
To keep his job, the Jets' defense needs to be a lot better than it was last year. While there was plenty of focus on the zero-interception statistic, this Jets defense also needed better production from the defensive line.
While they've added a few players this offseason, ESPN's Aaron Schatz is urging the Jets to sign a former Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills defensive lineman who has 27.5 sacks in his career, Larry Ogunjobi, to bolster the DL depth at a reasonable price tag.
"Sign defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi," Schatz writes. "Ogunjobi would make a good addition to help David Onyemata and Harrison Phillips. The 32-year-old Ogunjobi will come much cheaper than the $8.3 million the Bills paid for half a season of him last year, and he has experience as a 3-4 end."
