If it weren’t for an injury history the length of a novel, Gilbert would not be too bad of an option for the Jets. The veteran tackle has been productive when healthy throughout his career and has plenty of big-game experience. In a perfect world, he is the ideal candidate to protect Sam Darnold’s right side.

The only problem is Gilbert is never able to stay healthy. He tore his ACL before he could ever play a game for the Arizona Cardinals last season. That alone should be reason enough for Douglas and the Jets to steer clear.
