He better be good, he’s the second highest cap number on the team after Davis

Weird way of saying this was a great signing by JD.

Makes you wonder if putting Fant at LT from the jump and drafting Wirfs would have been the better play..

There's always going to be a better move. What we need to do is see what we can do with what we have

Becton  the hamburgular will eat himself out of the league.

Is he even coming back this season?

Calm down Becton lovers. This doesn’t mean Becton is bad. But ignoring the fact that Fant has been fantastic would be disingenuous.

It might just be me but I prioritize an elite pass protector at LT who is an average run blocker over a decent pass protector who is a road grader in the rush game.

How about do nothing? He's under contract for next season already. Just how much of an early bird discount does one imagine the Jets will get by extending him now instead of waiting until after the season, if not waiting until Sept/Oct next year?

Quite arguably there couldn't be a worse time to extend him than now, while his value is the highest it's been in his whole career to date, and probably the highest it'll ever be for the rest of his life thereafter. Never mind that an extension now would/could further disincentivize him from performing at his top level next year once it's established that more/new guaranteed $ will extend into 2023. He's playing for his last major payday. Reap the benefit of that while we can imo.

There's zero incentive to lock him up with more guaranteed money now. Leave him in a contract season through at least the early parts of next season. Never mind what if he tears his ACL again a month from now and is never the same again?

IMO just leave an ideal Fant situation the way it is.

Heard this discussed a lot on the radio. Becton will have to earn his job back. He isn’t getting it back automatically 

Becton is going nowhere. They probably end up trading Fant for a 2nd round pick.

Yeah, having a backup as the 2nd highest cap hit is ******* genius lol
