George is a pretty good locker room guy ,has embraced the Saleh / Douglas culture, very nice system fit, and has a great skill set for Left Tackle. Good Left Tackles are hard to find, and the disparity in the market between left and right Tackles might be even larger with Free Agent LT’s in Free Agency starting at 18M and going North from there. This is not an easy contract. Saleh said the decision of who will play LT will be made in the next few days. Jet IMHO are best served with George at LT and Mekhi at RT. However, the decision could be Douglas’s leverage, George sign a Jet friendly deal at 15 per, with a 12 million signing bonus plus additional guarantees or finish your contract this year , play Right Tackle , and the Jets will move on. All eyes on Douglas, every Jet and every OT in the NFL.
