Is Crowder worth keeping around on his current contract?

[gmf1369]

When I tell you that Crowder has been the only reliable presence at wide receiver for the Jets over the past two seasons, I mean it. His 137 receptions since 2019 are 85 more than the next highest mark at the position for New York. Robby Anderson comes in second with 52 despite not even playing for the team last season.

Crowder has been a productive contributor from the slot on one of the worst passing offenses in the NFL, earning a PFF receiving grade of 78.0 over the last two years.

It’s not as if the $10 million-plus that the Jets would free up with his release is much-needed money in a dire cap situation, either. New York does enter this offseason with plenty of needs to address, but they have nearly $70 million to work with already. It makes sense for the Jets to keep Crowder in place for whoever is playing quarterback next season.

I think you have to keep him around for at least the coming season. Whomever is the QB, he will need Crowder's consistency and TD ability.

Crowder's cap hit vs his dead money makes him a perfect candidate for the cut list in a year where the draft is flush with players at his position .

Let's assume they keep SD around, wouldn't you want his best receiver from previous year to help him out? I think JD learned his lesson with the Robbie Anderson situation last year.

game plan suits SD's style and Crowder could be an asset but FAs and Prospects also will fit the mold and Sam needs to develop not feel coddled with Jamison...

Replaced Crowder with a younger player while lowering his cap hit for this year in Ju Ju if you're looking for a binkie for your starting QB . draft a late round developmental type and add a potential true #1 either in the draft or free agency or trade (OBJ)

hearig LaFleur like Crowder potential but hopes their free agent targets could put his roster spot in jeopardy...
