The New York Jets have already shown they’re willing to be aggressive in changing their roster, doing so at the trade deadline and in the early stages of the offseason. After making a move to bring in Adonai Mitchell during the deadline, the Jets added a player who was once viewed as a potential elite player.
While Mitchell can turn into that, there’s still a sense that more is needed if this offense is going to reach its full potential.
Right now, Garrett Wilson remains the clear No. 1 option, with Mitchell stepping in as a No. 2. Outside of that, it’s tough to say the Jets have much, and that’s something the offense dealt with a year ago due to Wilson’s injuries.
It remains uncertain if the Jets want to go out and land another WR due to not having their long-term QB yet, but one idea recently proposed would make a lot of sense.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison would be a very nice addition. The youngster has been in trade rumors a tad in recent months and has shown the ability to already be a WR2.
While there’s no guarantee that Minnesota would actually trade him right now, the idea makes a lot of sense. Patrick McAvoy believes Addison could be the type of player New York needs to improve its offense, bringing up some very fair points.
“Adonai Mitchell, another trade pickup, showed that he can get open at an elite level after being acquired by the Jets, but New York needs more. Right now, Wilson and Mitchell are New York's top two receivers with Isaiah Williams at No. 3.
“A significant piece needs to be added. With the Jets having as much success as they have had in the trade market, one team New York should look at is the Minnesota Vikings and specifically wide receiver Jordan Addison. The 24-year-old playmaker has been the subject of a bit of trade speculation this offseason, although there is no guarantee that he will be moved.”
If Mitchell can be what some expected him to be, and Wilson and Addison continue to do what they’ve done, the Jets' WR room would look very interesting.
