It sounds like Laurent Duvernay-Tardif is good to go for the 2022 season.

Duvernay-Tardif, an impending free agent, wasn’t sure if he would play next season because of uncertainty revolving around his medical license in Canada. But that issue has been resolved, according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini.

It’s unclear if Duvernay-Tardif will stay with the Jets or sign elsewhere, though. Gang Green could certainly use him if it doesn’t think it can find a better right guard in free agency or in the draft. After trading for him and starting him over Greg Van Roten mid-season, the Jets averaged a league-high 6.7 yards per carry on the right side of the offensive line and 5.19 yards per rush overall, per ESPN Stats and Information. Duvernay-Tardif did, however, leave some room for improvement as a pass-blocker.
