OT George Fant

Joe Douglas gave Fant the richest contract of any Jets free agent – three years, $30 million – to start at right tackle on the team’s revamped offensive line.

Fant is powerful and has his flaws, but he should give Darnold better protection than he had in his previous two seasons. He only allowed two sacks and one penalty in 2019 and his athleticism will be sorely needed in the run game.
