What happened

The Jets did a lot of work on this position in the offseason, trading for T’Vondre Sweat and signing David Onyemata, so this is not a position of desperate need.

Why it matters

I still think they could add an athletic pass-rushing lineman, though.

Common ground

They are missing that after trading Quinnen Williams to the Cowboys last year.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
