    Knowing Mac's approach of patching holes in free agency to draft BPA, I fully expect them to sign a LG, C, OLB, slot CB, slot WR, starting CB or resign Claiborne, and probably an RB. I'm guessing they won't target Trent Brown.

    Agreed, not sure how the Lions make sense unless Patricia has some master plan for him.

    It starts with Bell for me. He’s gotta be priorties 1 through 3. Then I agree with most of your list other than Fowler. I’d rather trade for Ford or take a shot on Houston.

    While it would be nice on a prove it deal, I wouldn't consider the spot settled. He might be one hit away from out of football or out for the year.

    I sure hope this isn’t considered a big part of the solution...

    Backs up both guards and center. Good signing

    Did you forget Mac is still our GM? Say hello to our starting center for the next five years. (I'm only half joking.)

    Actually I would say Harrison is second string material but played well enough I suppose- now Mac has an excuse not to overspend in FA on a center while stocking other positions. If he can’t sign a center then one will be drafted and most likely start . Just my opinion .....

    True, but at least we'd know we have a potential answer.

    Knowing Mac, unfortunately, you're probably right, but I hope not.

    If he takes Jenkins, Bradbury, or another C in the draft, I can live with not signing Morse or Paradis.

    I could live with it too, but it would mean one less draft pick we could use to upgrade talent somewhere else. When two very good Cs are available in FA. Signing one of them should be their top priority with the abysmal play we've experienced from the C position over the last 2-3 years.

    Well this is it guys, on Monday it's legal tampering (negotiations) but no Contract can be signed till Wed 3/13

    Anybody want to bet who we sign first?

    I say a real easy one, resign Mo Clairborne and they simultaneously kick Buster S to the curb

    After that, who knows

    I think Jets are pushing hard to keep a couple of guys from hitting free agency. Harrison is a smart keep. He would ideally be a better backup, but my guess is that there is a chance he could end up as a starter. That is assuming they can’t find better in free agency. We have so many holes on that offensive line. It wouldn’t surprise me if he is a week 1 starter.

    I still can’t see why they haven’t locked up Henry Anderson. Hopefully they have been in negotiations with him.

    I think the Jets will aggressively try to sign an Olineman first. Perhaps Paradis or Morse. If I were in charge, I’d throw some coin at Mitch Morse to be our center.

    Something Jets fans aren’t accustomed to watching. Mawae (HOFer) and then Mangold a very, very good center.

    I think the Jets have to come away with a minimum of two pass rushers in free agency.

    Ansah-Flowers is my preferred combo and heck sign Wake on a short term deal too why not?

    You bet. Tannehill wouldn't be one of these toothless, figurehead, baloney mentor type backup QB the Jets have had since 2010 Brunell, Garrard, McCown.

    He's a former top 10 pick in his own right, he has tons of starting experience, he has been productive, still has starting aspirations and he has a good relationship with Gase.

    It's a longshot to happen for many reasons but if what I'm reading about his market being dried up, which is unbelievable to me, is accurate I also find it hard to believe he wouldn't consider reuniting with Gase for a year or two.

    I sure hope that you're wrong about Harrison being the starting C. If he is, I don't see the Jets' offense going anywhere or Sam staying healthy for long. If that's the decision Mac makes, he should be fired immediately and not even allowed to conduct the draft.
