Entering the 2023 offseason, the New York Jets’ positions of concern, quarterback, offensive line, and safety, are all well-documented. Not that it is a weakness, but the defensive tackle position quietly has, at the moment, many moving parts.

The 2022 Jets MVP, Quinnen Williams, is the one player at the position from last year under contract for 2023. However, Williams, on his fifth-year option, made known after the season that he expects a contract to be done by the offseason program, or he will hold out.
