Right now, the New York Jets have one capable receiver on their roster: Garrett Wilson. Even with a future Hall of Fame quarterback, that’s not going to be enough to make a serious playoff run. Aaron Rodgers’ more recent playoff struggles may have stemmed from having only one receiver to throw to. Patrick Mahomes struggled for much of the 2023 season for the same reason.
The Jets know they need a No. 2 receiver. As we’ve covered recently, though, they may not be able to afford one. Calvin Ridley’s price has likely increased now that Mike Evans, Michael Pittman, and Tee Higgins are all off the market.
