5 remaining free agents the Jets should be interested in

Jets Wire takes a look at five remaining free agents Joe Douglas and the Jets should be interested in.

The first wave of free agency is over, but that does not mean there are not a handful of standout players still available on the open market.

Jets general manager Joe Douglas spent the first couple of weeks of free agency revamping the offensive line, addressing the cornerback position, adding a deep threat to replace Robby Anderson and taking care of a handful of in-house free agents. Even with all of the work Douglas put in throughout the opening days of free agency, New York’s roster still has numerous holes that need to be filled.

Who can come in and fill those holes? Let’s take a look at five remaining free agents the Jets should be interested in.

This one is a no-brainer, as Clowney is not only arguably the best remaining free agent on the market, but easily the best remaining pass rusher.

Considering their need for an EDGE, Clowney should be at the top of the Jets’ free agent board right now. New York is rumored to be in the running for the former No. 1 overall pick’s services, so it’s safe to assume that he is at this point.

Clowney has battled injury and inconsistent play throughout his career, but he is worth taking a risk on. The Jets have rolled the dice on far less talented pass rushers in the past.
