The Jets have signed T Billy Turner.
Turner (6-5, 310) played with the Broncos in 2022, starting 7 games and appearing in 8. He was originally drafted by the Dolphins in the third round in 2014 out of North Dakota State. Turner played two seasons in Miami and took snaps at both right guard and tackle before he was released. He then joined the Broncos and played in Denver from October 2016-18. He took snaps at tackle and guard.
Turner joined the Packers in 2019 and played three seasons in Green Bay at right guard and right tackle. He overlapped there with Jets OC Nathaniel Hackett, QB Aaron Rodgers, QB Tim Boyle and WR Allen Lazard.
Turner has appeared in 91 games in nine seasons and started 75. He's taken 5,041 snaps on offense and 205 on special teams.

Im all for bringing in as many OL as possible. The more the merrier.

This move adds versatility and a veteran with familiarity with the system and Rodgers. I like the addition.

Denver's OL was not all that great last year. Maybe Turner just needs a chance of scenery.

Ok
He’s here at Aaron’s Behest
Hey Aaron anything else you want? I’ll pick it up ?

 

[Retired AFA]

Aaron wants a young Clay Mathews.

Excellent signing.

1. Rodgers loves him. That is huge if Rodgers trusts him.
2. Legit starter experience.

Perfect. If Rodgers wanted all his former guys, he should have just worked it out with the Packers. Said it before: I'm getting a massive Jets cluster f*ck vibe.

Nice depth signing! Hopefully our O Line is legit this season

That's a reasonable line of thought but then again all of these ex-packers can help greatly in teaching and creating cohesion of the new offensive system and that, considering where we want the "O" line to be when the season starts, is a real PLUS.

How many guys did Brady bring with him when he went to Tampa Bay?

I was thinking about which other ex-Packers the Jets could sign.
Then, I remembered that Vince Lombardi had coached at St. Cecelia's in Bergen County New Jersey and ...
Never mind.
