With Joe Douglas’ latest move in free agency, he reunited a pair of Ravens linebackers.

Douglas signed Patrick Onwuasor to a one-year deal on Wednesday, ensuring that the Portland State product will get to play alongside C.J. Mosley again. The two enjoyed success playing next to each other during the 2018 season. That could happen once again in New York, though it’s unclear what Onwuasor’s role will be.

Adding Onwuasor to the mix means the Jets have six inside linebackers on their depth chart. While someone may have to go, Onwuasor’s versatility allows them to get creative.

With that, let’s get to now the Jets’ newest addition to their defense. Here are four things to know about Onwuasor.

Versatile chess piece

While the Jets now have six inside linebackers on the active roster, Patrick Onwuasor adds a bit of versatility that his position-mates do not.

For the majority of Onwuasor’s career in Baltimore, he played as the weakside linebacker next to C.J. Mosley. Once Mosley signed a lucrative contract with the Jets last offseason, Onwuasor was supposed to be his strongside heir. Instead, he struggled in place of Mosley and was moved back to the weakside.

Over the last three seasons, Onwuasor has recorded 9.5 sacks in addition to creating five turnovers. Not only can Onwuasor rush the passer from the middle of the defense, but he also excels in coverage.

Onwuasor is a versatile chess piece that Gregg Williams could use a number of ways, but his arrival could also allow New York to move some money around. Onwuasor could replace Avery Williamson, who can still end up a cap casualty. Cutting him saves Joe Douglas roughly $6.5 million in cap space.
