On Tuesday, the New York Jets sold off two of their best defensive players in defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and cornerback Sauce Gardner, to the Dallas Cowboys and Indianapolis Colts, respectively.
The Jets' defensive performance has already been subpar this season, and these new changes to their roster are expected to make it even worse. We will get a first glance at what remains of the team's defensive unit against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon when the two sides face off at MetLife Stadium.
The Browns hold a record of 2-6, placing them last in the AFC North, while the Jets, with a record of 1-7, occupy the bottom position in the AFC East; thus, there are no high expectations for their Week 10 matchup. But in the end, the game could impact which team gets the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
