Free Agent Defensive Tackle Al Woods to Meet With Gang Green

By Glenn Naughton Posted On April 4, 2023

Is Al Woods going to be yet another interior defensive lineman to snub Joe Douglas and the Jets this off-season? The Jets certainly hope not as they plan on meeting with the defensive tackle in hopes of filling a gaping hole on their defensive line.

Former #Seahawks DT Al Woods is visiting the #Browns and #Jets this week, source said. One of the most durable and valuable DTs for the last several years.

Just a couple of weeks ago we suggested the Jets make a call to his teammate Shelby Harris, but it seems the Jets would prefer Woods.

A veteran of twelve seasons, Woods has spent time with the Seahawks, Bucs, Steelers and Colts. Having spent most of his career as a rotational player, Woods has started 30 contests over his past two seasons en route to picking up 89 tackles (9 for loss) and 3.5 sacks.

Woods would be a nice compliment to Quinnen Williams on the inside to replace the departed Sheldon Rankins who left to sign a new deal with the Houston Texans. The Jets also lost backup tackle Nathan Shepherd this offseason so finding some big men up front is a priority.

On this episode of JetNation Radio, we take a walk down memory lane to the late 1990s when the Jets went from 1-15 to 9-7 due almost exclusively to a head coaching change.

We'll also kick around the idea of the Jets possibly hiring a defensive-minded head coach for 2025 and beyond.
