NY Jets’ WR options dwindling entering Day 3 of free agency

The 2024 NFL league year will kick off today at 4 p.m. ET, marking free agency’s official start. However, free agency is already well underway as teams have been allowed to agree upon contracts since Monday at noon.

In that short time, the wide receiver market has dwindled considerably. It’s a major position of need for the New York Jets, but they have yet to address the position and are running out of options.

Before the offseason, there were hopes that Mike Evans, Michael Pittman, and Tee Higgins would all hit free agency. Instead, Evans and Pittman re-signed with their teams while Higgins was franchise-tagged and has since requested a trade.
