The Jets have reportedly swung a deal to acquire two-time Pro Bowl left guard Kelechi Osemele.
made a big move to get a big man to bolster their offensive line.
The 6-foot-5, 330-pound Osemele fills a major need on the Jets’ offensive line in front of quarterback Sam Darnold. Starting left guard James Carpenter is scheduled to become a free agent after an injury-shortened season. Carpenter spent the past four seasons with New York after playing in Seattle for four and helping the Seahawks win the Super Bowl in 2014.
New York, which entered the off-season with question marks on its offensive line at centre and left guard, is re-signing Jonotthan Harrison, who started the final seven games at centre when Spencer Long struggled with injuries and consistency. But it’s uncertain whether Harrison is in new coach Adam Gase’s plans as the starter moving forward. Long was released last month after just one season with the Jets and has since signed with Buffalo.
Osemele was a second-round pick of Baltimore in 2012 and he started every game at right tackle as a rookie before moving to left guard to replace the injured Jah Reid in the post-season. He was limited to seven games the following year because of a back injury, but started 28 games over the next two seasons for the Ravens.
