Back to EpisodesJets' Guard Dilemma: Vera-Tucker or Simpson?
Description
The New York Jets offensive line is almost set for the 2026 season, with one guard spot still up for grabs. The contenders are Alijah Vera-Tucker and John Simpson, both free agents. Vera-Tucker, despite his injury history, is seen as the higher-upside choice with Pro Bowl potential. However, his durability concerns could lead to a shorter, lower-paying contract. Simpson, on the other hand, is a safer, cheaper option with a projected salary of six point three million for a single season. The Jets have salary cap room to pursue either, but the market will determine their decision starting March ninth.
