Notable Free Agents:
Top Three Needs
- Offensive Line
- Wide Receiver
- Defensive Line
The top priority for the Jets this offseason is overhauling an offensive line that might have submarined the 2023 season even if QB Aaron Rodgers didn’t pop his Achilles. There’s a lot of work to do. The Jets need two new starting tackles, as their plan of relying on veterans Duane Brown, Mekhi Becton and Billy Turner just flat up did not work.
The Jets’ issues on offense extended past the offensive line last year. They got subpar production from the quarterback, play-caller and other receivers not named Garrett Wilson.
I would expect the Jets to prioritize restocking the defensive line even though it remains a strength of the team. Jets HC Robert Saleh and the defensive staff put a huge emphasis on the defensive line, just like the 49ers where many of them worked before, and regularly carried 10 or more into the regular season following roster cuts.
One Big Question
Can Joe Douglas finally fix the offensive line? In his first press conference after being hired by the Jets in 2019, GM Joe Douglas made it clear that the offensive line was one of the most important positions on the team and one he planned to dedicate a lot of resources toward improving.
