The New York Jets desperately need pass rush help, and the Las Vegas Raiders could be an interesting trade partner to help them out.

The New York Jets can never catch a break, and the Las Vegas Raiders may be the team to help them out of their latest mess. They finally got rid of the awful head coach that is Adam Gase, and they drafted rookie quarterback Zach Wilson to be the team’s franchise quarterback.

Unfortunately, after only a week of the preseason, New York has already lost their big free agent acquisition, Carl Lawson.

Lawson was expected to be New York’s premier pass rusher for this season and for the next few seasons to come. Now that Lawson is gone, there is a major void left within the New York’s front seven. It’s a void that New York is looking to fill before the season kicks off in September.

The Las Vegas Raiders could be a potential suitor for a trade with New York. They have a few extra pass rushers, and there may be a few areas on the team where they wish to improve. So, here are two possible trade scenarios between Las Vegas and New York that could help fix New York’s new need for a pass rusher.
