Gang Green has found a replacement for former defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson.
The Colts have traded defensive end Henry Anderson to the Jets in exchange for the No. 235 overall pick in the 2018 , Indianapolis announced Saturday.
A third-round pick in 2015, Anderson began his career in strong fashion, out-playing veteran teammates only to suffer a torn ACL at midseason. He's been plagued by injuries ever since, finishing last season on injured reserve with a laryngeal fracture.
Although he's a starting caliber player when healthy, Anderson is ill-suited to new Colts coordinator Matt Eberflus' 4-3 scheme. He's a better fit with Todd Bowles, who runs a 3-4 defense in New York.
This is a worthwhile flier for the Jets. In the final year of his contract, Anderson figures to vie with third-round rookie Nathan Shepherd for snaps opposite Leonard Williams.
