As the old saying goes, three is a crowd. That rings especially true when it comes to New York’s middle linebacker situation.

Blake Cashman, Patrick Onwuasor and Avery Williamson are set to duke it out throughout training camp for the starting spot opposite C.J. Mosley. Cashman shined as a rookie before an injury brought an abrupt halt to his rookie season, while a torn ACL ended Williamson’s 2019 campaign in the preseason. Onwuasor, meanwhile, spent last season with the Ravens.

This position battle is tough to call. Onwuasor might have the inside track at the job considering his experience playing next to Mosley in Baltimore. The Jets also have a financial incentive to award Onwuasor the job over Williamson, as New York could save money by parting ways with him before the regular season kicks off.
