As the dust settled following right tackle Mekhi Becton’s season-ending knee injury, the Jets turned to Max Mitchell during practice Wednesday.
With apologies to the running backs, one criterion rises above all others when it comes to filling the unexpected opening on the Jets’ offensive line.
But the most intriguing long-term solution remains turning to a veteran free agent. “Mutual interest” between the Jets and “He’s definitely got something left in the tank,” Solari, the Seahawks’ offensive line coach from 2018-21, told The Post. “Great knee-bender, and what makes him elite is his athleticism and his change of direction. Very competitive, smart, leader on and off the field. He’d be an asset for the Jets in the sense of his play, his demeanor and his work ethic.”
