Linebacker and cornerback aren’t at the top of the New York Jets’ free agency need list, but neither is off the list completely, either.
In reality, every position on this team should be considered a “need” with the exceptions of safety and quarterback. The Jets roster is that thin. They could substantially upgrade any position on the team except for the aforementioned two.
So, the Jets would probably be doing themselves a disservice by ignoring any position on the field come next Monday. If there’s a star out there, they should be in on him unless he plays safety or quarterback.
