Joe Douglas still has two vital holes to fill for Jets
NY Post
Joe Douglas has not had a splashy week to start free agency but he has filled some holes and done it without handing out any crazy contracts, unlike some of his fellow general managers.
The moves have left the Jets with two big holes remaining on the roster — a No. 2 wide receiver and a starting offensive lineman, probably at left tackle.
Douglas needs to fill one of those two holes with a solid player who can be a major contributor to the 2024 Jets and then he can plug the other hole with a depth signing now and find a starter in the first round of the NFL draft.
If Douglas can pull that off, the 2024 Jets offense should be much improved from the 2023 version. That is also counting on Aaron Rodgers being healthy and not campaigning in Kalamazoo when the Jets are playing in Buffalo.
The free-agent market at tackle has been very quiet and the one at wide receiver has been pricey at the top, with Calvin Ridley landing $23 million per year from the Titans, but the second tier should have some bargains.
Douglas also could go the trade route like he did to land Morgan Moses as the team’s new right tackle. Trades are hard to predict and I don’t see the Jets making a major move like trading for Tee Higgins, but Douglas might be able to find someone to solidify his line or be the complement to Garrett Wilson in the receivers room.
J.T. Miller will be out for the foreseeable future.
