Whether you want to admit it or not Joe Douglas and the Jets have been busy during the 2021 NFL Free Agency period. They still lack a few positions, such as cornerback and offensive line. However, there are still plenty of CB’s out there and this may suggest that o-line will be a focus come April during the NFL Draft. Douglas has approached this extremely wisely and did not typically overspend just because they entered the period with the second-most cap space in the NFL. The past shows that overspending is not always wise, since 2016 the Jets have spent…

Day one of the tampering period was good as advertised, despite Bill Belichick signing everyone on the market. Still, the New York Jets and Joe Douglas ended up having a solid day of their own in NFL Free Agency. The moves began with the signing of former Detroit Lions LB Jarrad Davis to a one-year, $5.5 million deal, but the fans wanted much more than that. Douglas made more moves later on in Jets free agency, signing a pair of studs in former Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis and former Cincinnati Bengals edge rusher Carl Lawson. This filled arguably…
Heading into next week’s NFL Free Agency period, the New York Jets have close to $70 million to spend ,projecting them to have the second-most cap space in the league.

The Houston Texans have recently announced that they will be parting ways with star wide receiver Will Fuller. This does not come as a surprise, as the Texans were trying to shop Fuller during last year’s trade deadline. This indicated that their plan all along was not to extend him, which is why they at least tried to get something back in return before hitting NFL Free Agency. Despite coming fresh off a six-game suspension for PED’s, there should still be a competitive market for the former Notre Dame product. The New York Jets come to mind, when digging into…
With the New York Jets have many holes up and down their roster and them coming off a 2-14 season, Joe Douglas will have a lot on his to-do list.

With his contract expiring, the team is eager to get him back, as Maye has no intentions of leaving New York either. This is great news for the Jets, as they clearly cannot afford to lose a player like Maye. Jets Expected to Franchise Tag Marcus Maye According to…
In an offseason that is expected to be a quarterback carousel, the New York Jets figure to be in the thick of things. They realistically have three options to decide what they do at the position. They can elect to keep Sam Darnold and attempt to build around him. The Jets quarterback could also be traded, then draft either Zach Wilson or Justin Fields, or trade for Houston Texans star QB Deshaun Watson, if the Texans eventually decide to deal him. It is unknown what they will do, but they are not in a rush to make a decision. The…
