Bobby816 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 He just turned 26. So if he can stay healthy (he’s been injured quite a bit) he can be a good edge for us for years. Still waiting to see what we gave up for him. I’d imagine nothing crazy. My guess would be a 5th or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyt31 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) 2 Lawson's! Good move if it's for a late round pick. Someone who can help now but also give us at least a few years if things work out. Edited August 29, 2021 by rickyt31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsFanFromPitt Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Not a premiere edge rusher, but definitely not horrible. 20 total sacks in 5 seasons. Has had an injury bug that keeps nipping at him. but if he came cheap, its a low risk high reward and will definitely fill the void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He provides depth at edge which we have lacked for years, after this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.O Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Fantastic cost efficient move, adds insurance for next year too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyt31 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Looks like we only gave up one of our 6th round picks for him. Great decision. Still have enough to make another move if wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrade Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) JD gave up a SF’s 6th in 2022 Great trade. I don’t think envision Shaq all off a sudden becoming a major force at DE, but with Saleh and company, he may develop a bit more.

JetsandI Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Wonder if JD will rework Lawson' contract or not. Personally, I would leave it to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYJets4716 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Better scheme fit for the Jets than he was for the Texans. We needed to do something, we are pathetic at DE right now. We needed depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsfan4life51 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 13 Games Started the past 3 years and 14.5 sacks. Well worth the flier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsfaninptown Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I think Shaq will be a solid edge for you guys. He doesn’t offer much juice from a pure pash rushing standpoint, but he’s very good at setting the edge and is solid against the run. He doesn’t make a ton of splashy plays, but is solid and reliable when he’s on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
