A new head coach means the Jets are going to be targeting a new type of player in free agency and the NFL draft.
With Robert Saleh on board and Mike LaFleur likely to follow him to the Big Apple as his offensive coordinator, New York’s offensive and defensive schemes are in for a massive overhaul. Saleh prefers a base 4-3 defense and zone coverage, while LaFleur favors a west coast offense predicated on establishing the run and dialing up high-percentage passes. Both schemes differ dramatically from what Adam Gase and Gregg Williams had in place the last two seasons.
The Jets already have personnel in place to fit what Saleh and LaFleur want to accomplish, but additions still have to be made this offseason. What better place to turn for an influx of talent than Saleh and LaFleur’s former stomping ground? Here are seven 49ers of free agents that could be of interest to New York in the coming months.
