David, thank you for this article. It’s great to see Herbie getting some credit for an outstanding season. As he’s got some experience at the center position I wonder if the Jets might consider him there if the move on from McGovern? I could see a AVT, LT, Mcg, NH,MM o-line next season. Frankly, I’m ready to move on from Fant and Becton. Becton now has 14 NFL starts out of the 50 games the Jets will have played during his time here. The problem for me was not just the injuries. It was the fact that despite all the time he missed last season he then decided to completely skip the voluntary OTA’s? I understand wanting to spend time with your new born child but those OTA’s went on for 6 weeks. I had hoped he would show more interest in his NFL career by at least checking in for maybe a week? And of course he then shows up to the mandatory minicamp looking like the Good Year blimp? A very bad look. To be fair he did show up looking fit to training camp a month later but one has to wonder what effect his crash diet had on his stamina?
Zero chance that we keep Fant because he is only a so-so RT. We will resign Nasty because AVT gives us a lot of flexibility should the big guy return from multiple injuries and prove a bust at RT. We aspire to have the same crazy OL depth Philly flashes.
Fant has a chance, but he is not getting big money here. Same salary prove it deal, gives you ideal depth. Nate has an upside, curious to see his skills at Center, but I think second year in the system, and the Jets strength & Conditioning program will serve Herbig well.
The first question should be , What’s the best position for AVT ? There are probably four answers to that question, but for me it’s AVT at Right Tackle
We definitely need to sign Herbig to an extension....Kwon too. Two great pickups by Joe D!
I'm ok w/ letting Fant try to prove himself when he's ready to return (in place of Ubeughi?) , but on a very short leash. Same goes for Max, whatever time he gets this yr is gravy while he grows and learns.

Forget next year, does Nate stay in when Mitchell comes back and does Fant start when he's ready? I hate messing with success.
