Injuries are piling up at wide receiver for the Jets, leading them to bolster their depth at the position by signing Donte Moncrief.

Moncrief has bounced around the league after spending his first four seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. He spent 2018 with the Jacksonville Jaguars and split 2019 between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Carolina Panthers before landing in New York. He has yet to take the practice field for the Jets, but has an opportunity to earn playing time given the current state of the wide receiver room.

With that being said let’s get to know the Jets’ latest free agent signing.

Former Jet Killer

Going up against the Jets has always brought out the best in Moncrief.

In three games against New York, Moncrief has racked up 16 receptions for 257 yards and three touchdowns, including a five-catch 109-yard performance in 2018 in which he torched Trumaine Johnson for a long touchdown reception.

The Jets are hoping that Moncrief can put up those types of numbers playing for them. If he can replicate his latest performance against New York on a weekly basis, Sam Darnold will have a dangerous weapon to work with.
