Jets sign former Seahawks free agent offensive tackle George Fant per report

For the first several hours of the legal free agent tampering period on Monday, it appeared as if the were willing to sit out of the market when it came to the offensive line. This was remedied late Monday evening when they agreed to terms with former offensive tackle on a reported three-year, $30 million contract Kyle Fuller Jersey with $13.7 million in guarantees upon signing, The Jets, who entered free agency with holes acro s their offensive line at three positions (or arguably more), hope that Fant can turn around what has been an inconsistent career thus far in the NFL.Fant, who is still just 27 years old, has appeared in 40 NFL games and started in 20 of them. In Pat O'Donnell Jersey 2019, Fant graded out as the 53rd-best offensive tackle, according to Pro Football Focus. Since the start of the 2018 season, Fant has been used as Cordarrelle Patterson Jersey a hybrid tight end and offensive tackle for the Seahawks, but he has taken the majority of his snaps at the offensive tackle position. For example, in 2019, PFF charted Fant having taken 264 snaps at left tackle and 215 at tight end. In December of 2018, in a Week 13 Monday Night Football game against the , Fant recorded his first career reception, a 9-yard pa s from .Despite only being on the field for 221 pa s blocking snaps in 2019, PFF charted Fant having allowed two sacks, two additional quarterback hits, and 20 total pre Mitchell Trubisky Jersey sures allowed -- these numbers surely factored into his subpar overall grade. The 6-foot-5 and 322-pound former collegiate basketball player (at Western Kentucky) suffered Adam Shaheen Jersey a torn ACL in 2017 but has since been healthy while operating in his hybrid role for Seattle. The Jets hope that the best has yet to come for Fant moving forward, most likely as one of their starting offensive tackles.
