The New York Sack Exchange was the nickname given to the defensive line of the New York Jets in the early 1980s. The members were DEs Mark Gastineau and Joe Klecko and DTs Marty Lyons and Abdul Salaam.

The name was established after a pre-season 1981 contest in "Jets Report" magazine. The winner was a Dan O'Connor of Brooklyn, NY. After that was published, fans began showing up at Shea Stadium with "NY Sack Exchange" signs, then the team itself began to promote that moniker and team trainer Pepper Burruss began publishing a weekly sack update as if it were a Stock Exchange report. So, in short, the nickname came from the fans, especially one Dan O'Connor who was invited back to celebrate the 20th anniversary with the team in December of 2002 vs the Denver Broncos. Much of this info is from New York Newsday and Jets Confidential magazine.
