With their right tackle Austin Howard departing for Oakland, it’s probably a good idea for the Jets to re-sign right guard Willie Colon.
Do you really think it’s a good idea to have an entirely new right side to their offensive line in a must-win year?
From what I hear, Colon is about a month away from being back to 100 percent from the arm injury he suffered in the Jets-Miami game in Week 17. It’s the kind of injury players come back from with no problem.
Bring him back on a one-year deal for around the veteran minimum, and draft a guard who can be developed along with former defensive lineman Will Campbell. Train them to possibly replace Colon in 2015, but don’t rush them (like Brian Winters was).
Colon is a heck of a run blocker, and having 4/5ths of their line coming back in tact will be good for the continuity of the unit.
