Before Joe Douglas can focus on external targets, he has a handful of impending in-house free agents to evaluate.
The Jets have 28 players set to hit the open market this offseason. Some won’t factor into New York’s plans for 2022, 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’s second year at the helm.
Jamison Crowder battled injuries in 2021, but still managed to lead the Jets in receiving for a third straight year. Crowder has been reliable throughout his time in New York and showed solid chemistry with Zach Wilson, which could be enough to keep him in the conversation as a candidate to return in 2022.
Should Douglas want to re-up with Crowder this offseason? Or, is it time for the Jets to go in a different direction at wide receiver? Let’s evaluate the situation in Jets Wire’s latest free agent profile.
