Joe Douglas is adding some offensive line depth before the trade deadline.
New York is acquiring RG Laurent Duvernay-Tardif from the Chiefs in exchange for TE Daniel Brown, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Duvernay-Tardif has not played since 2019 but has started 57 out of 60 career games dating back to 2015.
Duvernay-Tardif opted out of the 2020 season to work as a doctor battling COVID-19 on the frontlines of the pandemic in Canada. The 30-year-old Quebec native was the first NFL player to opt-out.
A Super Bowl champion with the Chiefs, Duvernay-Tardif allowed three sacks, two quarterback hits and 22 hurries in 2019, his last year as a starter.
Brown has been with the Jets since 2019. Primarily a blocker and special teamer, he has yet to record any receiving stats through seven games this season.
Duvernay-Tardif and Brown are free agents after the 2021 season.
