Protect Zach Wilson at all costs.
That’s Jets general manager Joe Douglas’ mentality. The former offensive lineman has put a large emphasis on improving the O-line, and he’s far from done.
The Jets believe Wilson will develop into the type of franchise quarterback who will make them a perennial winner and end a long playoff hiatus and much longer Super Bowl drought. That all starts with the guys up front protecting Wilson and giving him time to make plays.
