Houston Texans v New York Jets — Before Aaron Rodgers returns, the New York Jets need to make major moves

#1) Reconstitute the offensive line

One factor in the New York Jets' struggles was the offensive line's inability to protect their quarterbacks. That must change in 2024.

Veteran tackles Duane Brown and Billy Turner are free agents, and their age is not a good sign for an area that requires agility and reflexes to prevent defenders from disrupting plays, whether it be a pass or rush. Meanwhile, center Connor McGovern has been supplanted by youngster Joe Tippmann as the starter.

Moving forward, the Jets could focus on their youngsters – McGovern, guard Alijah Vera-Tucker, tackles Max Mitchell and Carter Warren plus whichever second guard they can get in the 2024 draft. This core could serve the team very well in the Aaron Rodgers era and beyond.
