John Jerry

John Jerry has been a spot starter in the NFL, serving as a sizable depth piece for the Dolphins, Giants and Bengals over the course of his eight-year career.

Jerry took off the 2018 season after he was part of final roster cuts. He returned to the NFL in 2019 with Cincinnati. Injuries to Jonah Williams and Cordy Glenn forced Jerry, a guard by nature, to step in at left tackle.

Jerry started five of 11 games at left tackle, where he was completely miscast. Jerry had primarily only played guard in his career before being thrown into the fire at the tackle position. While the struggles cannot necessarily be pinpointed on Jerry due to his inexperience on the blind side, it appears his best days are behind him.

After nine seasons in the NFL, Jerry will turn 34 by the time OTAs roll around. The Jets would be better suited re-signing their own depth, like of Tom Compton and Alex Lewis.
