The numbers make it obvious what the New York Jets’ decision should be regarding Jordan Jenkins.

Edge rusher is once again the prime defensive need for the New York Jets as they head into free agency. While they most certainly have their sights set on marquee targets such as Dante Fowler, the Jets will also have to make a decision on the man who has played more career games for them (60) than any other defensive player on the 2019 roster—Jordan Jenkins.

Jenkins has spurred plenty of debate among the fanbase. Some fans are completely fine with letting him skip town. Others view him as a solid player and hope to see him brought back.

When you turn to the data, it becomes obvious which side is correct.
