FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Jamison Crowder has not participated in the Jets' offseason training program because of a squabble over his contract.
Robert Saleh revealed on Friday that was the reason for Crowder’s absence thus far in the voluntary workouts.
The Jets have upgraded the receiving room this offseason. They signed Corey Davis and drafted Elijah Moore in the second round. Crowder and Moore are both slot receivers.
Crowder is owed $10 million this season, but it’s not guaranteed. Jets general manager Joe Douglas likely is trying to get Crowder to accept less money. The Jets certainly can cut Crowder, but Saleh said they want him on the team.
