Offensive Line and Cornerback are among the Jets’ six biggest areas of concern entering the offseason.

The Jets need a viable option behind Sam Darnold.

After the Jets quarterback went down with mono, it was former Broncos starter Trevor Siemian who was on deck. Siemian fractured his leg and Luke Falk was a disaster. It was a miracle for Falk to produce a first down.

Sam Darnold has only started 26 of 32 career games. With six missed games in two seasons, the Jets need a capable veteran option behind their young quarterback. New York’s season got out of hand without Darnold in the fold.

Someone like Case Keenum could benefit Darnold. His veteran presence and tutelage could aid the third-year quarterback as he attempts to elevate his play.
