At the start of the offseason, the most glaring need for the New York Jets was the offensive line. The only starting offensive linemen returning for the Jets were second-year player Joe Tippmann and Alijah Vera-Tucker, who’s only played in 12 games in the last two seasons.
New York would address the rest of the line during the free agency period, signing former Ravens LG John Simpson and former Cowboys LT Tyron Smith. The Jets also would reunite with RT Morgan Moses, who they received in a trade with Baltimore.
