Arguably one of the weakest points of the New York Jets two-deep over the past decade has been the offensive line. It’s not a stretch to say that consistently, the Jets offensive line has been inconsistent.
That may not be true this upcoming season, with the Jets aggressively upgrading their line in free agency and the NFL draft over the past two years.
Specifically this offseason, the Jets brought back Morgan Moses, who was with the team in 2021 and then spent the last two years with the Baltimore Ravens.
Then they signed All-Pro left tackle Tyron Smith and drafted Olu Fashanu.
It has head coach Robert Saleh thinking that the upgrades have positioned the offensive line to be improved.
“It’s got a chance to be a really good group. I’ll even talk about the second-half of the season last year, that group and the amount of reps and playing time that they all got, and how much better they got over the course of the year,” Saleh told reporters.
“Remember, we played the two best run defenses in football a year ago to finish the season and rushed for a lot of yards. So, all the experience that they got, we feel really good about not only the front five, but the next six or seven guys, eight guys even.”

The Jets finished last year ranked second-worst in total offense. The hope is that a rebuilt offensive line can keep quarterback Aaron Rodgers healthy and the offense viable.
