The New York Jets<\/a> are searching for weapons to emerge at wide receiver opposite Garrett Wilson this season. As things stand, veteran free-agent signing Josh Reynolds<\/a> appears to be the in-house favorite to command the WR2 role. Allen Lazard is still lingering around. A sophomore Malachi Corley<\/a> needs to be considerably more effective than he was as a rookie. Speaking of rookie-year turnouts, does fourth-rounder Arian Smith<\/a> contribute anything to the offense in 2025?<\/p>\n

Those are the questions the Jets will begin answering at training camp. Starting quarterback Justin Fields<\/a> must identify his go-to targets as he builds chemistry with a questionable group of weapons (Wilson notwithstanding).<\/p>\n

CBS Sports recently outlined every AFC team’s remaining offseason needs. Unsurprisingly, they went with wide receiver for the Jets.<\/p>\n

“New York collected about a half-dozen competent pass catchers in the past few years after acquiring Aaron Rodgers, but then those players gradually moved on over the same period of time,” CBS’ Josh Edwards wrote<\/a>. “In terms of reliability, the room is essentially Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard and Josh Reynolds. Defensive tackle, apart from Quinnen Williams,\u00a0may also be on the mind of new coach Aaron Glenn.”<\/p>\n

Hopefully Reynolds and Lazard can prove to be reliable outlets for Fields in the passing game. Edwards throws a mention at defensive tackle, which lacks proven assets next to Pro Bowler Quinnen Williams. Head coach Aaron Glenn is tasked with finding solutions all over the roster.<\/p>\n
