The Jonotthan Harrison-Ryan Kalil switch ‘chafed’ some New York Jets (Report)

Offensive lineman Jonotthan Harrison was in line to start at center for the New York Jets this season. However, general manager Joe Douglas came to the team in June and he had other ideas.

Douglas was able to pull Pro Bowl center Ryan Kalil out of retirement and convince him to sign a one-year, $8.4 million deal with New York. With all that Kalil has accomplished in his career, it only made sense for the team to name him as the starter. Or did it?

According to Rich Cimini of ESPN, the replacement of Harrison with Kalil was a move that teammates may have not preferred in the first place.
