Report: Jets, five-time Pro Bowl LT Duane Brown have mutual interest in 'potential pairing'

By Victor Barbosa | Last updated 8/9/22

As New York Jets fans continue to cross their fingers on the health of Mekhi Becton, the team announced multiple moves Tuesday morning to shore up their offensive line, bringing in Caleb Benenoch and Chris Glaser. "Gang Green" may also be looking to a former All-Pro left tackle Duane Brown.

The New York Jets and veteran OT Duane Brown have mutual interest in a potential pairing, I'm told. Brown, who visited the team over the weekend, has had interest from other teams throughout free agency process, played well last year at age 36.

Brown was arrested in July at Los Angeles International Airport after a gun was allegedly found in his luggage. Despite the legal issues, the Jets -- and apparently other teams as well -- are still interested in Brown.

The five-time Pro Bowler visited with New York on Saturday and will turn 37 in three weeks.

ESPN's Rich Cimini had further details on the Jets' possible pursuit of Brown.

GM Joe Douglas, on @WFANmornings, says Duane Brown is in “phenomenal shape” and “the wheels are in motion.” Translation: #Jets remain very interested. Douglas acknowledges Becton injury more concerning than initially anticipated.
