The New York Jets are bracing for a busy 2026 offseason.
With ample cap space and four selections inside the top 45 of April’s NFL draft, the months ahead loom as a turning point for a roster riddled with holes.
Few needs are more glaring than wide receiver. Garrett Wilson led the Jets in receiving in 2025 with just 396 yards, and he did it in only seven games. (No, that is not a typo.)
With New York widely expected to add a rookie quarterback in the NFL draft, the urgency to build a functional offensive ecosystem only grows.
Throwing a young quarterback into the fire with Gang Green’s current group of pass-catchers would be a recipe for failure.
As the New York Jets look to beef up the room this offseason, here are two pass-catchers they should look to add in free agency.
Romeo Doubs, WR
No, Jets fans: This guy isn’t the Looney Tunes martian who so frequently shared the screen with Bugs Bunny — despite claims to the contrary.
He simply cares about his brain.
Selected by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL draft, Romeo Doubs is slated to hit the open market this offseason.
Throughout 59 NFL games (50 starts), the man who wears extra head protection (via the Guardian Cap) has reeled in 202 of his 320 targets for 2,424 yards and 21 touchdowns.
In 2025, the Nevada product set a career high in receiving yards and receptions, posting 724 yards and six touchdowns throughout 55 receptions.
Doubs has also eclipsed 600 yards in each of his past three seasons, showcasing his consistency as a pass-catcher.
Behind Wilson, the Jets lack a reliable target in their passing game. Signing Doubs, though, could help change that.
Doubs’ 115.9 passer rating when targeted in 2025 ranked seventh among 56 qualified wide receivers with at least 70 targets, showcasing his value as a quarterback-friendly option.
Even beyond wide receiver, the Jets have a surplus of holes, many of which are better suited to be addressed through the draft. Adding Doubs should not hinder the Jets from still selecting a receiver in April, but it could ease the urgency and allow New York to approach the draft with even more flexibility.
According to Spotrac, Doubs’ market value is projected at slightly over $12M, which the Jets could afford with their projected $90M+ in cap space this offseason.
Wan’Dale Robinson, WR
Wan’Dale Robinson’s rookie contract expired after the 2025 season, and he is projected to become a free agent.
Twenty-twenty-five marked a career year for Robinson as he set career-highs in yards (1,014) and touchdowns (4).
Since being selected by the New York Giants in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft out of Kentucky, Robinson has appeared in 54 games at the pro level (33 starts), while catching 268 of his 389 targets (68.8%) for 2,465 yards and nine touchdowns.
In 2025, he forced 16 missed tackles, tied for seventh most among wide receivers, matching Baltimore Ravens wideout Zay Flowers.
The Kentucky product is also highly durable, having played in 33 of 34 possible games for the Big Blue over the past two seasons.
While Robinson is expected to command more money than Doubs this offseason, with Spotrac projecting the 25-year-old to land a four-year, $60 million deal, the Jets need playmakers. It’s that simple.
He may not be the most cost-effective option, but Robinson just eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards and is one of the league’s more elusive wideouts, which would add immediate juice to New York’s receiver room behind Garrett Wilson.
