The New York Jets, looking for quick help after Carl Lawson’s season-ending injury, acquired Shaq Lawson from the Houston Texans on Sunday, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The Jets send a sixth-round draft pick to the Texans in the deal, a source told ESPN’s Rich Cimini.
This is the second time Shaq Lawson has traded this offseason. The Miami Dolphins had traded him to the jeans in March, a year after signing him for a three-year, $ 30 million contract.
Lawson, who had 4.5 sacks for Miami last season, has 20.5 sacks in five NFL seasons, the first four with the Buffalo Bills.
Carl Lawson, the Jets ’top free agent who signed this offseason, suffered a season-ending Achilles injury two weeks ago in a joint practice with the Green Bay Packers.
