An instinctive, mobile linebacker, David makes plays sideline to sideline. He has averaged 115 tackles in his nine seasons. He also excels against the pass with 12 career picks to go along with 52 PDs. He’s an incredibly durable player who has only missed five games in his career and is still playing at a high level in his early 30’s. $$$$
Haason Reddick, Cardinals 6-1 • 235 • 26
For the first 3.5 years of his career, Reddick played inside linebacker and really didn’t distinguish himself. Last season, after multiple edge-rushers suffered injuries, Arizona used Reddick outside, and he exploded for 12.5 sacks, earning himself some good money in free agency. $$$

FIRST DOWN- A lot of potential, but a lot to learn
There is a lyric in an old song by the rock group Chicago that sums up where Zach Wilson is right now:
IN HIS OWN WORDS WITH DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR JEFF ULBRICH - Ulbrich breaks down Jets' defensive personnel
(Marcus Maye) can do it all. I would feel comfortable with him (at free or strong safety). He’s a guy that, to me, he can play deep, he can play the half field, he can play the middle third, he can do that and you feel comfortable with it. I think he’s got range, speed and athleticism. I think he’s got ball skills and instincts to be a deep safety. But I think he’s got enough size and girth and want-to and courage to play in the box. It’ll be fun to utilize all the things that he does. He can cover tight ends; he can cover some of the wide receivers in this league.

Jets hope initiatives will increase winning edge
Aside from adding as many good players as possible to help the Jets improve, coach Robert Saleh and GM Joe Douglas are trying to turn over every stone to find extra ways to give their team a winning edge, and two examples of this were announced over the course of the offseason, with the additions of a game management coach (Matt Burke) and the installation of an Athletic Care and Performance Department. Let’s take a closer look at these two moves and how they might help the Jets:
