Jeremy Fowler, an NFL insider at ESPN, came out on Wednesday with a surprising take on the New York Jets management’s plans for late-offseason player acquisition.
Fowler speculates that the Jets still intend to make a “splash move” in the secondary this offseason.
“It seems like New York is still looking for another splash move in the secondary,” Fowler writes. “The Jets were in the mix for several high-cost free agents and signed corner D.J. Reed but could still use one more playmaker. A rangy center fielder at safety would elevate what should be an emerging defense.
