Jordan Jenkins’ return is a positive for the Jets. He is coming off a career-high eight-sack season and thrives playing for defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. With that being said, it’s going to take more than Jenkins for the Jets to have a dangerous pass rush in 2020.

Tarrell Basham came on strong at the end of last season, but he is still unproven coming off the edge. Jadaveon Clowney remains available in free agency and the Jets are rumored to be in the running for his services, but it remains to be seen if the former No. 1 overall pick will wind up in the Big Apple.

New York’s pass rush has suffered for years. That suffering stands to continue if Joe Douglas doesn’t find another pass rusher that can complement Jenkins.
