The Perfect Offseason: Here’s how Joe Douglas, Jets should hope things go in coming months

Joe Douglas has a lot of work to do this offseason. Here’s how he can fix the Jets.

Should he stay or should he go?

With more money to work with, I’d like to keep some of our best players who are set to hit the open market. I’ve decided to re-sign a few of them to maintain a certain level of continuity and integrity at various spots on the roster:

  • OL Kelvin Beachum
  • OL Alex Lewis
  • OLB Brandon Copeland
  • CB Marcus Canaday
  • ILB Neville Hewitt
  • CB Arthur Maulet
  • P Lac Edwards

Notable non-re-signings:

  • WR Robby Anderson: He’ll command too much money for his production. We’ll find either cheaper or better options in free agency and the draft.
  • OLB Jordan Jenkins: The same applies to Jenkins, who is a solid player but will likely require more money than I’d like to pay for him. 
  • CB Brian Poole: Again, too much money for a solid player. Poole fit in well as the slot corner in Williams’ defense, but we can find someone cheaper for that role.
  • RB Bilal Powell: It’s been a great run in New York for Powell, and we thank him for everything he’s done for the franchise, but it’s time for someone younger.
