The Jets got their man. On Friday, Gang Green agreed to a one-year, $3.6MM deal with offensive tackle Morgan Moses (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport). Meanwhile, Moses can reach up to $5.3MM via incentives, including 80% or more playing time. 
The two sides were said to be discussing a multi-year deal earlier this month. Ideally, Moses would have liked a more substantial payday, but this is a solid outcome for both parties. Already backed by plenty of starting experience, Moses could cash in all over again in the spring if he plays up to par. It’s a solid move by the Jets, too, scoring one of the best free agents left in June.
Moses went six straight seasons without missing a game for the Washington Football Team and earned a lucrative re-up in 2017. However, Washington opted to revamp their tackle group this year by drafting Samuel Cosmi in the second round and signing longtime Bears left tackle Charles Leno.
According to the advanced metrics, 2020 might have been Moses’ best year yet as he placed top-20 for tackles, per Pro Football Focus. Before that, the advanced metrics framed him as a middle-of-the-road blocker from 2017 through 2019. The Jets are expected to slot him in as their starting right tackle, supplanting George Fant and Chuma Edoga as Mekhi Becton‘s bookend.
Was hoping Seattle would sign him. Good get for NY.
From 1 bad team to another. At least he’s getting paid!
Arty, obviously you don’t follow football too closely. Have you seen all the excellent moves the Jets have made this offseason especially with their new coaching staff
Amen bro. People love to s**t on the jets, maybe more than anyone.
Obviously they haven’t been great lately, but give this new regime some time. Love the moves they’re doing, set the line for the rookie qb and give him some weapons. Something darnold never had. Great off-season so far.
I’m a homer but I think Wilson is electric. Build a team around him, I think he has that ‘it’ factor, dude loves ball.
The Jets are counting on MOSES
to part the Hackensack River
possibly even the
Berry’s Creek Canal
Hopefully he remembers to bring along the stone tablets that have the 10 Football Commandments on them.
The ones inside the Football of the Covenant.
He had better stay away from open flames because unless he shaves off that beard, we may see the Meadowlands with it’s own Burning Bush !!
Better Hackensack than the Gowanus.
So the Jets had to get one of their players to take a 50% pay cut just so they could offer Moses $3.6M? Perhaps Joe Douglas has been hit it the head more than Buster Douglas.
or maybe he’s an Excellent GM
one had nothing to do with the other.
