It seemed that one of the most prominent free agent offensive linemen had already come off the board earlier Sunday. Reports emerged that at least one team had been informed that right tackle Jack Conklin would sign with the Jets as soon as free agency began. However, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Conklin is “not expected” to land with Gang Green in free agency.
While Schefter notes the Jets, who are looking to upgrade their offensive line, have interest in Conklin and a plethora of cap space, the competition for Conklin’s services are expected to be “intense” and bring him out of New York’s price range.
Conklin was the eighth overall pick in the 2016 Draft by the Titans and has started each of the 57 games he’s appeared in over his four-year career. He has proven himself as a solid starter at right tackle but failed to develop into an elite player, which led Tennessee to decline his fifth-year option, which allows him to enter the open market this summer.

Cleveland bound?
That makes the most sense. Cleveland has the cap space and should/already has indicated it will spend most of it on the O Line.
Let’s hope. Browns fan living in Tennessee this guy is ultimate professional and what Cleveland needs not only as a player but a person.
Browns need upgrade at oline if they want to be successful again
Again?
Back in the olden days not so much over the 20 years
*30 years.
Just part of the smoke and mirrors that is modern free agency. Teams like to spread all sorts of untrue rumors about who they are and aren’t considering in order to get other teams confused.
Come to the other NY team the Giants!!
Totally with you, Giants need a LOT of help on D and other areas, but Conklin on the right would help immensely.
Quit reporting this garbage.
