Mike Tannenbaum is no longer the general manager of the New York Jets. If he was, however, he’d have a plan in mind for Braxton Berrios.
The receiver’s pending free agency will be one of the biggest game-changers of the Jets’ 2022 offseason endeavors after a breakout campaign earned him first-team All-Pro honors. Berrios led the league with an average kick return of 30.4 yards and bloomed into a reliable receiving target late in the year after injuries decimated the Jets’ catching corps.
Berrios is reportedly seeking a yearly salary of circa $9 million, only raising further questions over whether a metropolitan return trip makes good sense.
