The offseason is winding down, and there are plenty of new faces on this NY Jets team. Here’s a 53-man roster prediction following the 2020 NFL Draft.
With the 2020 NFL Draft behind us, it’s time to look ahead to September. Obviously, with everything going on in the world today, it’s no guarantee we have football in September, but the hope is the NY Jets will take the field at MetLife Stadium on time.
The team made some splashes in free agency this year, but Joe Douglas kept it conservative for the most part. He added pieces to holes on the roster that needed to be filled.
Douglas added to the offensive line with the additions of Connor McGovern and Greg Van Roten. He also made various additions throughout the roster, in the likes of Pierre Desir, Breshad Perriman, and Patrick Onwuasor.
On top of the new additions, some familiar faces were brought back on short term “prove it” deals. cornerback Brian Poole, offensive guard Alex Lewis, and outside linebacker Jordan Jenkins were all essentially brought back on one-year deals.
Lewis’ deal is for three years but the contract is structured so that it’s essentially a one-year deal.
The team is no doubt improved from 2019, and there’s plenty of depth to go around for the Jets right now. I figured I’d take a shot at predicting what the Jets 53-man roster will look like come Week 1.
