Update: ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Conklin is expected to sign elsewhere.

The New York Jets have been one of the more active teams in NFL free agency in recent years, signing the likes of Le'Veon Bell and C.J. Mosley last season.

Gang Green look like they are making another play for a major free agent this Spring, as Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported offensive tackle Jack Conklin plans to sign with the Jets at the start of free agency:

A year ago, the Titans opted not to exercise their fifth-year option on tackle Jack Conklin‘s rookie contract. As a result, he may be headed for a franchise that entered the AFL as the Titans.

Per a league source, one NFL team has been informed that Conklin plans to sign with the Jets when free agency opens on March 18.

The report is just that, and nothing more. It doesn’t mean that the Jets and Conklin’s representation have struck a wink-nod deal. It doesn’t mean that they’ve even talked, although tampering is rampant in Indianapolis at the Scouting Combine.

Conklin was a staple of Tennessee's offensive line in recent years. He was a First-Team All-Pro member in his rookie season in 2016, and started in al 16 games in three of four seasons with the Titans. Conklin was on the field for 94 percent of all offensive snaps in 2019, helping to anchor a ruthless ground attack that saw Derrick Henry finish the season with the rushing title.

This would be a massive pickup for the Jets should it come to fruition. New York struggled to develop its own running game last year, with Bell averaging just 3.2 yards per carry.

Conklin had an 81.0 grade as a run blocker, which ranked fifth among all tackles, per Pro Football Focus. He should significantly improve a Jets team that finished second-to-last in rushing DVOA, per Football Outsiders.
