Jets Urged To Dip Into Free Agent Market For Receivers<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest knocks on the New York Jets’ offense is the lack of quality weapons for Justin Fields<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Garrett Wilson is the only player with “credentials” as a star, with Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, Malachi Corley and Arian Smith forming the group underneath him.<\/p>\n

With over $36 million in cap space, the Jets have the funds for a little free agent shopping if they want, but we know that head coach Aaron Glenn is taking a more youthful approach to building his roster.<\/p>\n

However, Bleacher Report believes the franchise needs to dip into the free agent market and provide Fields with some help.<\/p>\n

“It wouldn’t hurt to add another proven pass-catcher to Fields’ support group, either,” Bleacher Report writes<\/a>. “Wilson is a No. 1-caliber receiver, while Josh Reynolds and rookie tight end Mason Taylor were both sensible additions. The Jets have a lack of reliable depth at wideout, though. They should consider signing seasoned free agents like Keenan Allen or Tyler Boyd.”<\/p>\n

In truth, the Jets likely want to see what they have at receiver in training camp before looking at adding outside help.<\/p>\n

ESPN’s Rich Cimini thinks that Reynolds is the clear No. 2 receiver behind Wilson as we head to training camp, so Lazard could be one to keep an eye on as the trade deadline comes into view later in the year.<\/p>\n

However, the Jets seem content with their options at receiver, and yes, they might be keeping their powder dry for next offseason. Nevertheless, adding a proven veteran on a one-year, low-cost deal might not be the worst idea.<\/p>\n
