    Looks like a 1 or 2 year deal considering the low GTD number?

    Ok it's a start. Re-sign Beachum for one more year please. And ideally still draft an OT at #11.

    Ummm... That's a lot of money for a non starter. You sure they don't envision him being just that??

    Seems to be a hybrid player. I've heard his name before just not much about him. Does he do anything particularly well?

    he’s a starter. Athletic tackle, worth the risk because he’s still coming into his own especially off the 2018 injury. Continue to get more (I also think that’s why Douglas dipped into the secondary market here, bunch of holes)

    I haven't seen any TGG posters talking him up all off-season. I'm not familiar with him myself. From reading about him. Seems like he's been injured. And used as a backup lineman/TE with little starting experience. This isn't why Joe Douglas was hired. Who the fk is this guy?

    If he’s starting, we’re fucked. He’s not even average.

    Or maybe it was why Douglas was hired. Because Fant is a diamond in the rough value signing. If you want to look at the bright side of things.

    We don't know one way or another at this point. But at least the Jets have shown a pulse.

    They’ve managed to downgrade a tackle spot.

    he’s def starting.

    I know he’s not a name but he’s going to be apart of this overhaul. Tons of moves need to be made on this front 5...go get more Joe D.

    Diamond in the rough? Small school. Undrafted. 2016. He's the typical journeyman far from a diamond in the rough. Robby Anderson imo is a diamond in the rough. I don't trust him for Sam Darnold. JD must do better than this in FA.

    He’s a bad player. If he’s starting then we haven’t done anything to try and solve the massive issue we had.
