Another year, another New York Jets offensive line controversy.
After the Jets’ line fell apart for the second consecutive season, Joe Douglas knows he must make wholesale changes. Last offseason, he and Robert Saleh were content to allow Duane Brown, Max Mitchell, Billy Turner, and Mekhi Becton to enter the season as the team’s tackle depth (with Carter Warren redshirting his rookie season). That cannot be the case heading into 2024.
The Jets’ choices in 2023 had a lot to do with the player they considered the “ace up their sleeve”: Alijah Vera-Tucker.
