NFL Career

In the 1979 NFL draft, Gastineau was chosen in the second round by the New York Jets. This made him the first player ever to be drafted from East Central Oklahoma State University. Gastineau quickly became one of the most skilled and honored defensive linemen of his generation. With Jets teammates Joe Klecko, Abdul Salaam, and Marty Lyons, he was part of the infamous "Νew York Sack Exchange" defensive line, with the four players posting a combined 66 sacks in the 1981 season. That season, the Jets made their first playoff appearance in 12 years, and Gastineau was selected to his first of five consecutive Pro Bowls. Despite being shortened by a players' strike, the 1982 season was another big one, with the Jets reaching the AFC Championship Game and Gastineau earning NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors. Gastineau truly cemented his status as an NFL great in the 1983 season when he led the league in sacks with 19. He became nationally famous for his signature (albeit controversial) "Sack Dance," which he performed after sacking a rival quarterback. The dance was ultimately banned by the NFL due to a bench-clearing brawl in September 1983 that was precipitated by Gastineau's sack of Los Angeles Rams player Vince Ferragamo.

Gastineau had his greatest career season in 1984 when he led the NFL in sacks for the second consecutive year, this time with 22. In the process, he became the first player to lead the NFL in sacks in consecutive seasons. In that season's Pro Bowl, Gastineau was named the MVP after recording four sacks and a safety in the game. Despite breaking his hand early in the 1985 season, he managed to finish second in the league with 13.5 sacks. The Jets went on to reach the wildcard playoffs, where they lost to the New England Patriots. Gastineau had a disappointing 1986 regular season due to myriad injuries, leaving him to record just two sacks in ten games. However, he came back strong in the postseason as the Jets reached the divisional playoffs against the Cleveland Browns. In the 1987 season, Gastineau participated in the players' strike as the only Jets regular to immediately cross the picket line. This inflamed already existing tensions between him and his teammates. Although Gastineau had an auspicious start to the 1988 season, leading the AFC in sacks over the first seven games, he abruptly announced his retirement so he could care for his fiancé Brigitte Nielsen, who was reportedly dealing with cancer. At the time of his retirement, he was the NFL's all-time leader in sacks.
