Let’s no sugarcoat it: This is an important offseason for the Jets. Joe Douglas will finally be able to make wide-sweeping changes in his quest to build a contender, and the right moves could signal a shift for the downtrodden franchise.

The roster needs fixing, there’s no denying it. From the offensive line to the secondary to the pass rush, the Jets need help at various positions. It is crucial for Douglas to identify and prioritize which problems need resolving first, how to solve them and then executing that plan.

Here is Jets Wire’s to-do for Douglas heading into his first offseason as the Jets’ general manager.

Decide on in-house free agents

The Jets have 32 players set to hit free agency this summer, including a couple of key 2019 contributors. Wide receiver Robby Anderson, cornerback Brian Poole, left tackle Kelvin Beachum and outside linebacker Jordan Jenkins are the four biggest names Douglas will need to decide on quickly. All four will command different contracts, but Douglas could keep them all as he begins to reconstruct the roster in his image.

Anderson is obviously the biggest name given his position, production, price and connection to Sam Darnold. Anderson said he believes the Jets want to keep him, but he also wants to test the open market. Once Douglas figures out what to do with his current free agents, he’ll understand the gaps across the roster and can plan for the rest of free agency and the draft.
