One of the big names that were expected to reach unrestricted free agency this offseason, won’t. Earlier this week the Arizona Cardinals handed offensive tackle DJ Humphries a fat contract extension to keep him for the foreseeable future.
If Humphries would’ve reached free agency, the NY Jets would’ve been highly interested in adding him to the team, considering its lack of depth on the offensive line.
The NY Jets learned two very important things from this news.
1. Offensive linemen are going to be VERY EXPENSIVE in free agency.
DJ Humphries is a 26-year old offensive tackle that by all accounts is a very average player.
