5 landing spots for JuJu Smith-Schuster in NFL free agency
Pick Analysis. AFC East. . 4.. player. 30. Scouting Report. New York Jets
Yes, the Jets botched their “Tank for Trevor” by winning two games late in the season (over two teams now in the Divisional Round, but the way).
With a quarterback decision looming, to either keep Sam Darnold for at least another year or taking someone second overall, the Jets have cap space ($70.68 million right now, via Over The Cap) and draft capital (two first-round picks this year, etc.) to reload the roster for a new head coach.
The Jets have a promising young receiver in Denzel Mims, but beyond that the cupboard isn’t exactly stocked. Maybe Jamison Crowder and/or Breshad Perriman are re-signed or someone is drafted, but wide receiver stands as a position general manager Joe Douglas will look to address from any and all angles this offseason.
If Smith-Schuster wants to be a proverbial No. 1 guy somewhere, and get paid in line with that status (right or wrong, smartly for a team or not), the Jets can deliver the role and the contract if they want to. An offer he can’t easily refuse may come.
