As the Jets enter the offseason. the team has glaring holes throughout the roster.
After finishing 7-9, the Jets aren’t exactly a team that is a couple of pieces away from being a Super Bowl contender. New York is in need of remodeling on the offensive line and lacks a No. 1 cornerback and wide receiver.
While Joe Douglas has his work cut out for him, he doesn’t have the most cap space in the NFL readily available, nor does he have copious amounts of premium draft picks. Despite improving by three wins, the Jets are in a similar place this offseason as they were last.
Here are the Jets’ biggest areas of concern entering the offseason.
Offensive Line
The offensive line is the Jets’ top positional need as they enter the offseason.
Once Gang Green made some much-needed changes to a battered front, the team’s offense started to play better. The changes, which involved moving on from Kelechi Osemele, placing Ryan Kalil and Brian Winters on injured reserve and benching Brandon Shell, paid dividends.
Unfortunately for New York, that isn’t enough to compete next season. Kelvin Beachum, Alex Lewis and Jonotthan Harrison all played relatively well, but they can’t all return as starters. It is likely that the Jets will have at least three new faces on the offensive line.
