New York Jets' Offensive Line Struggles Continue, Major Changes Expected

General Manager Joe Douglas Promises Review as Poor Performance and High Injury Rates Plague the Team

  • The New York Jets' offensive line has been underperforming, leading to a lack of protection for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
  • General manager Joe Douglas has promised to review the offensive line's past, present, and future, with 2024 being a critical year for the current regime.
  • Despite significant investment, the Jets' offensive line ranks poorly in sacks allowed, pass-block win rate, yards per rush, and run-block win rate since 2020.
  • Key players such as Alijah Vera-Tucker and Connor McGovern have suffered season-ending injuries, contributing to the line's struggles.
  • Potential solutions include letting Duane Brown and Mekhi Becton walk, picking a permanent spot for Vera-Tucker, releasing or cutting Laken Tomlinson's salary, signing a top free-agent offensive tackle, signing a veteran starting-caliber guard, signing a veteran swing tackle, drafting an offensive tackle in Round 1 and a developmental offensive lineman on Day 3, and hoping for better injury luck.
