Jets WR Spot Makes List of Top 10 Unfilled Roster Hole
Football Outsiders has out their list of “The Top 10 unfilled roster holes,” and the Jets make the list with their unsettled WR spot. Here’s the story:
4. New York Jets: Wide Receiver
The Jets entered the offseason with the option of retaining outspoken veteran Laveranues Coles or releasing him. They chose the latter, but forgot to replace him. Not a single wideout has arrived in trade or free agency, leaving the spot across from Jerricho Cotchery wide open. Chansi Stuckey had a promising 24.1 percent DVOA in limited time last year, but he was a rookie playing in the slot; David Clowney was great in the preseason but broke his collarbone and has one NFL catch; and Brad Smith hasn’t broken through in three seasons. Acquiring at least some sort of veteran as a fallback plan seemed like a logical idea.
