Curious, when you have meaningful games in December, Jet Fans are not focusing so much on next years draft, or Free Agency in 2023. It will be a different FA in 2023, some interesting cuts will have to made, Jets don’t have a lot of money, Jets may take a couple of second/ third tier FA, but that’s about it, priority will be re-signing our own. We will be drafting in the mid twenties, with just the normal 7 picks, we are just have to get used to it.
The Offensive line , just wow, what a challenge. I can’t see how we can retain Fant, before the injury, he was a 15 million dollar a year player, that’s the rate of Left Tackles these days. Can the Jets re- sign McGovern at the same rate 9/10 million with a front loaded, huge guaranteed contract, maybe ? Herbig can play Center, maybe your Center position is manned by Feeney and Herbig. Can you re-sign those guys for 5/ 6 million each ? Feeney at 3 Herbig at 6 ? AVT and Max Mitchell are 40% of your Offensive Line, we are so fortunate.
Unfortunately, we're stuck with BecTON for another year. Ideally, he finally stays in shape and the line is Becton/Tomlinson/McGovern/AVT/Mitchell. I would not resign Fant and would cut Brown. I'd have Ogbuehi/Herbig/high draft pick as our backups. If Becton can't go, which is what I'm expecting, I'd move AVT to LT for the year while our newly drafted LT gets up to speed. Start Herbig at RG.
David, thanks again for another outstanding look at our offensive line situation. Its been an interesting season playing musical chairs but I’m pretty sure JD and the coaching staff is hoping for more stability there next season. I have a feeling your suggestion of a AVT,LT, MCG, Herbie and MM line may end up being the solution with Brown as the swing tackle. AVT’s flexibility would enable him to slide over if MMsuffered another injury. I also feel we need to pick another o-linemen in the draft in April
One thing for sure - whoever is named to the starting group - plan on them not starting - need to look at the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th string guys as that will be out line next year LOL - Injuries since what 2018 ?
Too much invested in Brown if he is healthy and can play. Hate to eat a 6 million dollar Brown cut. McGovern if the numbers are reasonable. He has been very steady. Becton will have to earn a starting job. We move on from Fant, Remmers, OG.
Tonight Bills- Pats, who would you like to lose/win. Since they still have to play their two games, I would like to see the Bills win tomorrow. That would put the Pats in desperate mode for the rest of the season. Also, I can’t see the Bills losing two in a row, with the Jets next week, I think it’s better for the Bills to win tomorrow. Jets currently 11 points underdog for rematch. That line alone worth a column.
Nice job by the NFL schedule maker, giving both the Vikings and Bills 10 days rest before their matchups.

My O-Line prediction for 2023:
Starting: LT Brown, LG Tomlinson, C McGovern, RG Herbig, RT AVT
Backups: Swing Tackles Becton, Max Mitchell, C/G Feeney, 2023 draft pick......
