Brown would require either Fant or Brown to move to the right side, which isn't ideal. Fant was not good on the right side.
But this was the one glaring issue with the offseason moves on offense on paper. Whether it was directly replacing Becton with a draft pick, or whether it was getting veteran depth to be a backup until Becton proves he can stay healthy, we badly need security at the OT position. McDermott is not that. Edoga is not that. Maybe Mitchell is, but that's very risky.
Brown seems like the best guy available, and we were interested before Becton got hurt. It seems the Jets would be willing to increase the salary given the Becton injury. Brown has a lot more leverage now.
