Before Joe Douglas can focus on who he plans on targeting in free agency come March, he’ll have a handful of in-house decisions to make.
The Jets have 25 players set to hit the open market this offseason. Some don’t figure to factor into New York’s plans for 2021, while others it’s safe to assume the Jets would like to keep around for a while. Either way, Douglas has a lot of work to do to put together a competitive roster for Robert Saleh.
Joe Flacco was brought to New York last offseason to mentor Sam Darnold and wound up starting his fair share of games with Darnold on the shelf at different times throughout the year. Flacco played relatively well in relief of Darnold, but that does not necessarily guarantee his return next season.
Should the Jets bring Flacco back in 2021? Let’s evaluate the situation in Jets Wire’s latest free agent profile.
