New York Jets

Unlike the Buccaneers, the New York Jets can throw money at just about any prospect that they wish with about $100 million in cap space this offseason. With Sam Darnold still on his rookie contract, the Jets must move quick to capitalize on the four year window they have before the trucks are backed up to unload a massive contract to the franchise quarterback in 2023.

The running back situation in New York is currently a complete disaster. The team is expected to part ways with Isaiah Crowell just one year into his three-year deal that he signed last offseason, and Bilal Powell is also an unrestricted free agent at the age of 30 and coming off of a serious neck injury that many think could be career threatening.

This leaves the Jets with Elijah McGuire who, in his career, has rushed for less than three yards per carry. New York must address the running back position pronto.

If New York does not want to break the bank in pursuit of Le’Veon Bell, Coleman would provide them a productive and cost effective alternative. Flushed with cash and in a large market, New York has the ability to make Coleman quite possibly the best offer he gets.
