The New York Jets' wide receiver corps outside of Garrett Wilson was the laughing stock of the league heading into the 2025 season.
Allen Lazard struggled with his buddy Aaron Rodgers under center, so it was highly likely that he'd fare even worse as Rodgers moved on. Josh Reynolds had a decent floor, but very little ceiling. Tyler Johnson was an upside play that didn't have much, well, upside.
Finally, you had rookie Arian Smith being named as one of the draft's biggest reaches. Unsurprisingly, abysmal offense ensued. The general consensus was that wide receiver was going to be one of the Jets' biggest needs in the offseason, with the position potentially being addressed both in free agency and early on in the 2026 NFL Draft.
