Can overlooked NY Jets free agent push for Joe Tippmann’s job?

Following in the footsteps of his mentor, Bill Parcells, Aaron Glenn has preached “competition” since being named HC of the NYJ.

At many positions on the New York Jets’ roster, a competition would be unsurprising. The WR2 spot is wide open, featuring a mix of veteran competitors such as Josh Reynolds and rookies like Arian Smith. The Jets also have openings at TE2 and DT2.

But one possible competition has many Jets fans surprised: center.

The Jets have a talented third-year center in Joe Tippmann, a former second-round pick who performed well as a starter last season.
