What about Vernon Carey? He was a RT Tackle before moving to guard. Probably get him for cheap. Maybe not the best pass protector but great at the run

Andre Smith is probably available for three #1s.

^They have a left tackle. They need a right tackle.

They may not have to, Austin Howard can play. He was with the Eagles the last couple of years as a training camp/practice squad guy and he impressed when he got the chance. Now Im not saying he’s some diamond in the rough thats going to emerge and be a top linemen just because he’s finally gotten the chance to escape Jason Peters’ shadow , who actually is the top linemen in the league by the way. No thats not going to happen. What he can do though is be a serviceable left tackle for the Jets. He wont win them any games, but he also won’t be a hindrance to them winning either.

He’ll get by in pass protection but his real strength is in run blocking. And as long as the Jets stick to what they’ve been saying all off-season and go back to the ground and pound team they had so much success with, then they won’t have to look any further then there own depth chart when trying to find there starting left tackle.

Gosder for a DB, shoot they have they best secondary in the league. At least on paper. Lions should do it.

“Trade the Lions a DB or picks for Gozder Cherilus.”

I totally agree with this. It’s not like the Lions would demand God’s Second Son in trade – he could be had for 4th or 5th rounder.

Sparano should give Marc Colombo a call.

As a Bills fan, this brings a smile to my face. Im sure it brings an even bigger smile to Mario Williams’ face. Dirty sanchez is to get SMUSHED!!! good thing you guys got Tebow

Without a line, that offense has no hope. Sanchez has a hard enough time struggling when he has pass protection.

The again, the defense will carry us to the Conference Title game like it’s done in the 2/3 years Rex has been here.

Rex Ryan has no shame.

What the ‘Jets have’ at RT right now is 600lbs of embarrassment.

The should easily be able to find an upgrade in the upcoming cuts, simply because they have two of the worse OT’s in the league on their roster.

I think getting owner Woody Johnson to play RT may be a better option than anything else they got…

Being that they traded for a Qb who plays punt coverage,,, they have a cb who wants to play wr,, maybe they can sign a O-lineman who can throw the ball.

Don’t see them getting a tackle off waiver wire since the teams ahead of them need them too.

Rexy should suit up and play tackle.

It’s not like he really does any coaching.

Get a new starting RT, let Howard & Hunter be backup Tackles, but give them some 1st team reps at LG and see if they can compete for Slauson’s job. They are definitely Tackles, but it is worth a look to see if their weaknesses won’t be exploited as much at Guard.

If the Jets don’t find a decent RT for this year, I can’t see how Tanny keeps his job after not addressing the RT position in the draft or offseason. We all saw how much Hunter struggled last year, and it’s not like he was young and learning, he had been a backup for years. He wasn’t going to miraculously get any better.

Antonio Cromartie recently stated that he is the best tackle on the Jets. He’s right.

Tebow is willing to play left tackle if it will help the team :p

Hunter and a pick for D. Bell. They both could use a change of teams.

Cardinals brass, are you watching this? At least the Jets act like they give a damn about their o line situation.
