Throughout the past few months, adding a star receiver has been constantly mentioned as a primary goal for the New York Jets this offseason.
However, now that free agency is less than a week away, the options are already starting to dwindle. Mike Evans just went off the board, as he re-signed with Tampa Bay. Tee Higgins was franchise-tagged (as expected). The Raiders squashed any hopes of a Davante Adams trade.
As the stars begin to fade, it’s looking increasingly likely that the Jets opt for a more economical approach at the wide receiver position – a pathway that is more appealing than some fans might realize.
