One of the New York Jets’ most crushing weaknesses on offense was the lack of depth at wide receiver behind Garrett Wilson. With no other wide receivers on the Jets’ roster who posed even the smallest of a threat, opposing defenses happily double-teamed Wilson all game long and enjoyed great success with the strategy.
To fully unleash Wilson and the entire passing game, New York needs to find a quality wide receiver who demands enough respect to divert attention from Wilson.
The Jets are expected to go star-hunting at this position. Davante Adams is the most popular name due to his connections, although he remains under contract with the Raiders, who did not seem eager to trade him at the deadline.
