What to do with LB Jarrad Davis?
The Jets can do better than Davis in their pursuit of linebacker depth. Last year was a chance for Davis to prove he could get back on track with a change of scenery. His preseason injury was unfortunate, but he wasn’t all that productive once he worked his way back to full health. New York can replace 25 tackles for a whole lot less than the $5.5 million Davis received in free agency last offseason. Don’t expect him to return in 2022.
What to do with S Marcus Maye?
The Jets have a lot to consider when it comes to Maye. The need for a quality safety is apparent and Maye is just that — even if he regressed a bit in 2021 before injuring his Achilles. On the flip side, New York has the chance to allocate any funds it would have used to re-sign Maye on bringing in a true upgrade, like Bengals star Jessie Bates III. The Jets can consider bringing Maye back if he doesn’t play hardball and wants to negotiate something along the lines of a one-year prove-it deal. If he still wants a lucrative multi-year pact, it’s time for New York to move on.
What to do with WR Jamison Crowder?
Crowder has been a solid player for the Jets when he’s been on the field. There’s no debating that. However, New York is building for the future and Crowder does not necessarily fit those plans. He turns 29 in June and while that makes him far from ancient, the Jets can get younger and also upgrade at the same time. New York might entertain bringing Crowder back if its pursuits of other wide receivers fall short, but don’t count on him suiting up for the Jets next season.
