Important decisions lie ahead for Joe Douglas with free agency and the NFL draft nearing.
After spending the first part of the offseason finding New York’s next head coach, Douglas’ focus now shifts to putting together a competitive roster for Robert Saleh to work with. A major step in accomplishing that feat would be to address the wide receiver position, which was lacking in a lot of areas throughout 2020.
Denzel Mims has the makings of a future star and Jamison Crowder is consistently working out of the slot, but whoever the Jets’ quarterback is next season is going to need a lot more than two weapons to work with in order to be successful. Adding a No. 1 wide receiver is pertinent, as is beefing up the depth at the position in the event of a rash of injuries.
Last offseason’s free agent wide receiver class was thin, but that is far from the case this offseason. Here are eight wideouts Douglas and New York should have interest in once free agency kicks off.
