With the reaction of the NFL landscape to the New York Jets‘ signing of Randall Cobb, you’d think Cobb is going to be the Jets’ WR1.
Newsflash, folks: Cobb came in to be the Jets’ fifth receiver on a team that plays a lot more 12 personnel than 10. He’s not going to have that large of a role in the offense. The Jets have many other weapons.
Rather than quibbling about the advisability of bringing in a fifth receiver who the quarterback is familiar with, the more interesting question is how the Jets will deploy those receivers.
