How many teams will challenge the NY Jets in free agent TE market?

The New York Jets have a multitude of needs throughout their roster, but there is arguably none bigger than tight end. The position is integral in Mike LaFleur‘s offense and Zach Wilson‘s development as a young quarterback.

Since Dustin Keller’s time as a Jet (2008-12), New York has failed to get even average production from any tight end, let alone a player in their prime who can provide year-to-year consistency to the position.

New York is projected to have the fifth-most salary-cap space ($50.7 million) in the NFL this offseason, per Over The Cap.
