The Jets only can wish that their decision on Mekhi Becton’s future was as simple as the Giants securing another year with Andrew Thomas.
Tuesday is the deadline for NFL teams to exercise the contractual fifth-year options on their 2020 first-round draft picks.
That scenario is where it hurts that Thomas — who was voted a Second-Team All-Pro by the Associated Press — was snubbed on the Pro Bowl vote, because his option based on his position and playing time would have increased to $16.6 million with a Pro Bowl selection. Becton, who started 14 games and showed promise as a rookie, has played in just one game while undergoing two surgeries on his right knee over the last two seasons.
