New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields will need to get the most out of a so-so group of weapons under Tanner Engstrand if he is to make something of his stay in the Big Apple.
With Garrett Wilson seen as the only reliable target, with Josh Reynolds and Allen Lazard behind him, that doesn't scream a receiver room that can put up points consistently enough to win football games.
As such, CBS Sports' Josh Edwards has named the receiver position as the biggest need for Aaron Glenn's team.
"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," Edwards wrote . "In terms of reliability, the room is essentially Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard and Josh Reynolds."
But who could the Jets go after?
The top remaining free agents are Keenan Allen, Amari Cooper, and Gabe Davis, and given the youth movement Glenn is undertaking, we aren't sure if any of those veterans for one year will give the offense more juice than what is already on the roster.
Allen looms as the most productive option, coming off a 744-yard, seven-touchdown year with the Bears in 2024. So, for those wanting more weapons that will improve the offense, there aren't too many cost-effective options out there.
So Fields might just have to make do with what he's got in Wilson, Reynolds, and Lazard for 2025 and lean on the run game to help ease the pressure needed to pass the team to a win.
It's not ideal, but those are the cards Fields has been dealt.
