INDIANAPOLIS — While the identity of the Jets starting quarterback in 2023 remains a mystery, general manager Joe Douglas needs to figure out who will be protecting that mystery QB.

If the team was not in the market for a quarterback, offensive tackle is the position we’d all be talking about right now. The position is an interesting puzzle for the Jets thanks to free agency, a potential retirement, players returning from injuries and a former first-round pick trying to get his career back on track.

“We have a lot of moving pieces — in season, too,” Douglas said Tuesday at the NFL Scouting Combine. “That’s definitely a position where we’d like to create more stability and continuity, especially with the injuries we sustained last year.

“As I’ve said before, O line/D line are going to be a high priority for us, always. If there’s an opportunity to upgrade tackle, center, guard, D-tackle, D-end, we’re always going to look at doing that.”
