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. New York filled that need by bringing in Shaq Lawson, who has 20 1/2 sacks in five seasons with Buffalo and Miami. NFL Network first reported the Jets’ trade for Shaq Lawson, who is not related to Carl Lawson. Shaq Lawson will now help fill that void as a young but experienced edge rusher.
