Buzz: Jets closing in on a deal for Morgan Moses?
The Jets may be about to strengthen their offensive line even more:
The #Jets and OT Morgan Moses are making progress on a potential multi-year deal, per source. Nothing done but Jets considered favorite and have made a compelling push to sign the seven-year veteran. Other teams have been involved, too.

Moses is a solid veteran, who would likely displace George Fant at right tackle, while also giving the Jets a safety net in case Mekhi Becton's foot injury lingers for the next few months.
Fant has a high salary and has never played inside so it would be interesting to see what the Jets would do with him. Moses may not be as athletic as Fant, but the Jets presumably convinced themselves he can handle the requirements of their system.
We'll update you if they manage to finalize a deal for the 30-year old 330-pounder.
