Brown is a good signing. Shame about Becton but not entirely surprising. Awful pick in hindsight.

Good to have football back, even if it’s preseason.
Kenny Golladay already giving up something to complain about.

You're all preachin to da choir.
Putting this in hindsight, stopgap signing ok as stopgap, but we need to find young OL or consider trading from DL depth to get one.
Or anybody else got other suggestions?
Well I think Duane Brown is going to be their main solution. If someone hits the trade market I would think Douglas would kick the tires, but otherwise my guess is they stand pat and then sign some guy during roster cut downs.

Awful INT into a non contact injury on a moronic scramble in preseason, we are so back.

Guy can't stay in shape and thus can't stay on the field.
I won't blame Douglas for the miss, but I do blame him for not having another starting caliber tackle on the roster ahead of time. It probably cost them to desperately overpay for Brown.
It looked that way. Best case is probably 6 weeks on a MCL.
This is potentially very disappointing. It's the first time in awhile that I was as pumped for a NYJ season. I wasn't expecting a playoff berth, but I thought they had the potential to keep things interesting for awhile.
fully concur
Don't say that even to be funny.
If Wilson injury turns out to be serious, I'm ok rolling with 1) White, 2) Stretverder or whatev his name was, the guy who finished up for us and showed some heart.

It's apparently a bone bruise and a meniscus tear, and he'll be out 2-4 weeks. There's a chance he could be ready for the opener.
big win for the jets on that injury. losing becton and wilson for the year would have been catastrophic.

Yes, Mike White should be a cut as soon as Wilson is healthy, he's a waste of a roster spot.

Yes.
I don’t know if Wilson ever reaches his ceiling, but he’s clearly better than White.
Well I'm sure he'll get better but not until he stops making moronic decisions. Until then he hasn't shown me anything to make me agree with you.
Interesting that the Jets suffered injuries at the two positions where they seemed least interested in establishing real depth--QB and OT. Joe Flacco is barely capable at this point and the OT thing is well-documented. I'm been lukewarm on Douglas, I like his approach in general and understand he can't rebuild the whole team in one year, but some of his refusals to address certain position groups at various times has been odd.
He's been gm of the jets for 3 seasons. The last 2 seasons when he had full control over the off-season had fewer wins combined than the season he took over after mcagnans draft. If the jets suck this year you have to clean house again imo.
Yeah if they don't show any real improvement I think you have to. Douglas has done some good things, but has also whiffed on some notable picks, made some odd roster construction choices (not taking a more proactive approach to help the pass rush/EDGE situation, having a bunch of shit players in the secondary last season, not finding a good backup QB, gambling on Becton, etc...), and frustrated with his--somewhat laudable--adherence to not offering free agents a dollar more than he thinks they're worth. I mean it's not to say he hasn't done anything good, because he has, but all in all it's a really mixed bag. He's one of those guys with "The Plan" who won't deviate from it.
