When Jets General Manager Joe Douglas assumed his post for the New York Jets just over a year ago, it led to the hope and expectation that the former offensive lineman would look to address a decimated unit with improved players across the board who could come in and prove to be immediate upgrades. Well, the hope of new players has been fulfilled, and in a few months, we see about the expectations. Could they be any worse than the guys they’re replacing? Unlikely.
By adding former Carolina Panthers starting guard Greg Van Roten and former Eagles and Colts backup O-lineman Josh Andrews, the Jets have inked five linemen, four of which are brand new to Gang Green.
