In exchange for Lawson, the Texans will receive a sixth-round pick, who Houston just brought in last spring via a trade with the Dolphins. New York found themselves suddenly in need of a pass rusher after Carl Lawson ruptured his Achilles.

Lawson was originally drafted by Buffalo with the 19th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.
