The Jets and wide receiver Jamison Crowder are haggling over his contract, and that has led to him staying away from the spring program.

Jets coach Robert Saleh revealed there are negotiations ongoing between the team and Crowder. The team is trying to get him to take a pay cut from the $10 million he is scheduled to make this year. None of that $10 million is guaranteed, so the Jets can cut him at any time. They also drafted Elijah Moore, who plays slot receiver like Crowder, in the second round.

“Jamison, obviously, is working through some stuff with his contract with Joe and his staff and his agent,” Saleh said. “[I’m] really confident to get Jamison here quickly, and when we do, he definitely has a role for this team.”

Saleh deflected specific questions to general manager Joe Douglas. He did say that the Jets do not want to part ways with Crowder.

“Absolutely,” Saleh said when asked if he wants Crowder on the team. “Jamison’s definitely got a role here, and we’re excited to have him.”

Time will tell if that changes in the event Crowder balks at taking a pay cut.

The problem is a lot of the Jets cap is going into the receiver room. Jets could manage it this season but down the road not necessarily so. They are probably trying to get him to take a pay cut or do some creative stuff with his contract.

Yeah as really need to manage it down the road. If not this season. As they are in the beginning with new coaches and in a new staff and players. Just hope they can work something out with him.

Excellent!!! The five headed WR tandem of Davis, Mims, Moore, Crowder and Cole might be a true force on the field. At any or at all given times, Z. Wilson can have 2-3 solid WRs on the field and they can interchange this all game long. Of course the 4 WR and 5 WR sets apply the same. SWEET!!!

I've been reading that Cole will be #2 unless Mims really steps up. I think it would be good for his development to watch a vet and come in for situational purposes to provide the vertical and red zone threat. Add Berrios to the mix, and we have six very good options for Wilson not to mention Carter out of the backfield. Hopefully, one or two TEs step up as well. We are miles from where we were just a year or two ago. Adding another OL to this offense and we should be very competitive offensively in the next year or so.
