Free agency – much like the draft – is a crapshoot.

You can scout players all you want, but there’s no telling if they’ll ever live up to the contracts they receive when they hit the open market. For the most part, teams will overpay to land a player who outperformed his contract the year before, only to watch him crash and burn the following season. The Jets experience this on an almost yearly basis and Joe Douglas can’t let it happen again.

The big names will always command the most money, but there are plenty of diamonds in the rough that can stand out and contribute for less. No one wanted to give Brian Poole a big deal in 2019 and he ended up being the best slot corner in the NFL for the Jets. Douglas needs to find those players if he wants to fill all the holes on his roster.

With that in minf, here are four under the radar free agents for the Jets to target.

WR Breshad Perriman

The Jets are in the market to upgrade their wide receiving corp and Perriman would be a cheap solution if they can’t keep Robby Anderson. Perriman enjoyed a late-season resurgence with the Buccaneers after three years of holding the bust moniker and actually looked like he could become a viable wide receiver in the league. He led the NFL with an average depth of target of 18.8 yards and only dropped one of his 65 targets.

Perriman is roughly the same height as Anderson but a little bigger-bodied and could provide a dual ability as a speedster and red zone target for Sam Darnold and the Jets. He’d also command significantly less money than a lot of the other receivers on the market. If the Jets want to save their money or pool their resources for a different player, signing Perriman could help them in a lot of different ways.
