The New York Jets were incredibly active during the first wave of NFL free agency.
The team acquired players like QB Geno Smith, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, and defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat via trade. Offensive lineman Dylan Parham, linebacker Demario Davis, and edge Joseph Ossai were among the free-agent additions.
On Monday, the Jets traded quarterback Justin Fields to the Kansas City Chiefs.
There are positions Darren Mougey could still target during the second wave of NFL free agency. Wide receiver is a big one, with no proven depth behind Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell.
Jets Wire has identified three free-agent receivers the Jets could still sign.

Dyami Brown produced just 219 receiving yards and one touchdown for the Jacksonville Jaguars last season after signing a one-year, $10 million contract. He was deemed surplus after the Jags traded for Jakobi Meyers, and was limited to 11 games due to injury. Brown is still a capable No. 3/4 receiver with a possession element to his game. The Jets should kick the tires on his availability.
Jauan Jennings, WR
Jauan Jennings obviously hasn’t been met the market he expected, or else he’d already be signed. Indications are Jennings was hoping for a Romeo Doubs-like or Wan’Dale Robinson-like deal in free agency. That hasn’t materialized. With his asking price potentially coming down, the Jets should consider making an offer.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, WR
The division rival Miami Dolphins released Nick Westbrook-Ikhine from his contract. He was a 2025 flop after scoring eight touchdowns for the Tennessee Titans in 2024. Westbrook-Ikhine is a reliable No. 3 or 4 receiver who is a savvy route runner.
