New York Jets: S Ashtyn Davis
The Jets wisely exercised safety Jamal Adams’ fifth-year option, but Adams wants a new payday, and the two sides don’t seem on the same page at this point. Contractual issues aside, any team could use another deep-third defender, and as good as Adams is at that, he played more than 100 more snaps in the box last season (401) than he did at the free safety position. Moving Adams around is the best thing for the Jets’ defense, which leaves the need for a legitimate deep-third safety. Somehow, they were able to get Davis with the fourth pick in the third round, and Davis has the range, field smarts, and ball skills to take that on. Suddenly, a defense on the bubble at several positions looks to have an extremely dynamic safety duo — if they can get the Adams situation worked out.
