Jets Free Agent Profile: What to do with OLB Tarell Basham?

Jets Wire takes a look at whether or not New York should bring back outside linebacker and impending free agent Tarell Basham in 2021.

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.

New York didn’t boast much of a pass rush in 2020, but Tarell Basham turned in a solid season playing on the edge. Should he get a chance to build on last season’s performance in Saleh and Jeff Ulbrich’s defense? Let’s evaluate the situation in Jets Wire’s latest free agent profile.
