The Jets can never have too many linemen, and McDermott would be the likely practice squad call-up if the Jets needed an extra tackle. McDermott backed up both tackle spots in the late stretches of 2019, but his status on the depth chart isn’t too promising after Joe Douglas signed and drafted a bunch of linemen this offseason.

Keeping McDermott from other teams, though, would be a solid contingency plan in case the Jets needed another backup tackle.
