@J Fan That's why I would like the timeline to go like this: after his adventures in Pirates of the Caribbean: Jack Sparrow, Jack is an 18 year old pirate on Shipwreck Island and then one day he does something to Salazar, maybe breaks his leg, which is why Salazar needs a walking stick. Who knows, maybe Salazar was that officer of the Spanish Royal Navy that Jack impersonated once, which the town clerk mentioned before Jack's hanging in TCotBP. Salazar becomes obsessed with revenge and seven or eight years later, Salazar lead his crew in a hunt. The Silent Mary destroys nine out of ten pirate ships in that battle and the only surviving pirate ship, the Black Pearl, led by Jack and his first mate Barbossa, sails through the Devil's Triangle where the Spanish are all killed by some supernatural forces. Barbossa later raises a mutiny, and the rest is history. Fifteen or twenty years later Salazar and his crew come back from the dead, they intercept the Queen Anne's Revenge, and Salazar decides not to kill Barbossa because he thinks Barbossa, as Jack's former first mate, might be useful.

As for the Beckett problem, Gibbs is dressed in his standard pirate garb, so maybe the game was actually set seven years before Barbossa's raid on Port Royal.

@Midhav Yes, Beckett, Tia Dalma, Ragetti, and Gibbs. Those are the movie characters we know about so far who were supposed to appear in AotD.
