Zach Wilson needs more weapons to work with if the Jets want him to take the next step in 2022.
The cupboard is not bare in New York. Corey Davis might not be a true No. 1 wide receiver, but he has the talent to form a strong duo with Elijah Moore, who impressed as a rookie. Braxton Berrios could also be back with the Jets next season, which would further strengthen the depth chart.
Berrios, Davis and Moore don’t provide the elite, established option Wilson needs to help further his progression, though. The Jets don’t have to look far to see what having a star wide receiver can do for a young quarterback. The Bills gave Josh Allen an All-Pro in Stefon Diggs and Allen became one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks in the blink of an eye.
There’s no guarantee Wilson takes a similar leap, but a No. 1 wideout sure would help his chances.
No. 1 wide receivers are not abundant in this year’s free agent market. They are, however, attainable via trade at the right price. Here are four Joe Douglas could potentially bring to the Big Apple.
