Le’Veon Bell is the Jets bell cow, but they need a reliable pass-catching option to spell Bell’s usage. That’s where Thompson comes in. The veteran makes his hay as a pass-catching specialist out of the backfield and he’d be a tremendous complement to Bell.

Thompson had at least 70 total touches over the past five seasons, including two 100-plus touch seasons from 2016-17. Injuries have plagued the 29-year-old over recently but he’s still playing at a high level when called upon.
