Joe Douglas’s priority No. 2 must be offensive tackle

Another offseason, another Jets’ offensive line overhaul.

Time is ticking on Joe Douglas‘s reputation as a builder from the trenches. In his four seasons as Gang Green’s general manager, the team’s offensive line has ranged from revolving but decent to unwatchable. 2022 showed an awful lot of the latter, reaching a crescendo in Week 18 when the likes of Dan Feeney, Mike Remmers, and Laurent Duvernay-Tardif made a mockery of the term “pass protection.”

Some of the problems on the offensive line come down to prayer. Douglas signed Laken Tomlinson to a contract that is unimpeachable in 2023, and he will need to reap what he sows.
