Hopefully, but Fant has had some injuries in his career. Just saying.

Almost all NFL players have some injuries in their career.

[Lith]

Good news.  Will be interesting to see where he plays -- RT or LT. 

Either way, I am happier with Brown and Sauce than Ickey.  Worry about a long term fix for the right side next offseason (assuming we extend Fant).

[CSNY]

Although I was initially against signing Brandon Shell given the recent developments he should be signed as a backup Would be a upgrade over Edoga and McDermott for sure as we wait until Mitchell is ready to start which hopefully is soon

Agreed. However, Jets players seem to enter a whole different trajectory. A sports writer the other day stated that Jets never come out of TC unscathed injury wise. 

[IndianaJet]

Let's go!

[Barry McCockinner]

I guess the Max Mitchell ahead of schedule train was derailed.

Brown was 6th in the league in sacks allowed last year according to PFF. 

[PorP]

I don't know how to do the fancy tweety posty thing..

But FWIW. Connor tweeted that brown had choices with playoff contenders and chose the jets.... he said he thinks it says a lot about Saleh's culture. 

[munchmemory]

Seems okay, I guess.  He's going to be 37 in a few weeks.  I don't know that much about the longevity of OTs.  Is his age an issue?

[DoubleDecker]

Excited for Zach and the Offense, but cautiously optimistic given the Ryan Kahlil stuff.  Good stuff on the 2 year deal nonetheless! 

[SomebodytoAnybody47]

Super Bowl BACK ON!!

[BigRy56]

This man was a pro-bowler last year. This is an upgrade

[Green Truth]

I am sure they spoke with Fant,  that they need him at RT this year.  Fant will get his extension with LT money.  Move back to LT next year.  Brown will be a backup next year.  Gives Max a year to develop.

If Max is ready they cut Brown,  Becton.  Sits on the sidelines or is traded.  While they draft a 1st or 2nd round Tackle next year.  Good news for Zachary.

[65 Toss Power Trap]

I know that we got him to address an urgent need, but this is a great pickup, period. NFL.com ranked him #14 of all 2022 free agents.

So happy to have him. With how ZW is progressing in camp, and what he needs to keep working on (being comfortable in the pocket, getting his reads down, making the easy throws); having good protection is only going to help him chill out and keep progressing. If he can avoid having to run for his life as much as possible, he can keep developing to match the talent he has.

Who knows where our O line is in terms of rankings, it just feels very competent and seasoned. Now these guys just need to play a bunch of snaps together and develop chemistry.

Or give Max a couple of years to develop. The two year deal is great.

Worthless to bring up PFF stats with Brown last year:

- First of all Wilson missed a ton of games and was replaced by Smith (that will affect sack numbers)

- Second, did SEA run the same blocking scheme that we do.  How did that affect his sack numbers

Look at his pace ...

[Beerfish]

Bectons future:

 

 

[Bronx]

We should be called the Wild Wild West Jets.

First Q. Will and now Brown...

Brown, who turns 37 later this month, has been in the NFL since 2008 as a member of the Texans and later the Seahawks. He was arrested last month after allegedly carrying a concealed gun at LAX.

JD probably called QW's lawyer: "Hey, you got this?" and his lawyer replied: "got you covered!"

[ZachEY]

I would think this is a 2-year-deal in name only.  Prior to this, we only had about 8M in cap space.  I'd imagine a 2nd year was added to spread some signing bonus out and make it more affordable this year.  Likely means some dead money next year, but nothing we shouldn't be able to handle easily.

Has to be, right? Morgan Moses talked about if he took care of his body, he could go a few more years, but he's only 31.

This isn’t the Khalil situation. Brown hadn’t retired, he was waiting for an offer. 
 
I would’ve pursued a RT, but this is the guy they obviously liked after Reiff. This shores up the OL for now. Still expect another addition from camp cut waiver claims unless they really do think Mitchell is close to ready to go.

How will he play at RT?  

He will line up on the right end of the line next to the right guard and get in his stance before the ball is snapped.

Maybe we can pontificate for the next year on why brown got 2 years and what the means for Fant / Mitchell....?

Because they didn't have enough cap space for 1 year

[SR24]

More than I expected

This is an online forum. We don't pontificate. We beat useless/irrelevant topics to death.

When they talk about QBs holding onto the ball too long Russel Wilson is the poster boy for that.

22 Mil.... Jesus... They had to do a 2 year to make the money work

Isn't that a reasonable price for a seasoned Left Tackle? Brown might play RT (I don't know), but that dollar amount does not seem crazy.

Interesting to note it's a 2 year deal. Wonder about the details of that and if Jets have an out after this year or if Brown will compete for a starting spot in 2023 as well.

I think we have an out with Mekhi. What a fvckin waste.

Joe had to dip into the emergency fund.  Great that he operates the way he does to be able to do something lik ethi sin an emergency.  My vote is Brown will play RT.

Douglas paid the price for not realizing that Becton was tissue paper.   He got bent over.

Now, if Brown actually plays well then I have no issue with the cost but we better finally get a vet who is not using the jets for his loafing around retirement plan as we usually do.
