AP source: Jets acquire edge rusher Shaq Lawson from Texans
(AP Photo/Michael Ainsworth, File) (Michael Ainsworth)FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — (AP) — The New York Jets are replacing one sack-happy Lawson with another. Edge rusher Shaq Lawson was acquired by the Jets from the Houston Texans on Sunday for a sixth-round pick in next year's NFL draft, according to a person with direct knowledge of the deal. NFL Network first reported the Jets' trade for Shaq Lawson, who is not related to Carl Lawson. Shaq Lawson has two years and $9.8 million left on his contract, which was restructured by Houston in March. Shaq Lawson will now help fill that void as a young but experienced edge rusher.
