The 2023 NFL Trade Deadline is just a few weeks away and for the first time in a long time, the New York Jets are expected to be active.
At 3-3, the playoffs are a very real possibility for Gang Green, and the next coming weeks should be focused on how to improve the roster by the deadline in a way that keeps future assets intact, while also competing at the highest level.

With Joe Tippmann expected out for a little bit, the Jets need to find a way to solidify that side of the line. Max Mitchell was serviceable in replace of Alijah Vera-Tucker, but a veteran like Garrett Bolles would not only add a starter to the…
