The Jets have been kind of aggressive in free agency this offseason, and they're still not done, not even after getting the band back together by reuniting Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie in their defensive backfield.

A person with knowledge of the situation told NJ Advance Media on Thursday the Jets have reached out to free agent wide receiver Cecil Shorts III, who spent the last four seasons with the Jaguars. That person asked to remain anonymous because the process is still playing out.

Shorts, a 2011 fourth-round draft pick out of Division III Mount Union (Ohio), averaged 58 catches the last three seasons. In 2012, he totaled 17.8 yards per catch and had five touchdowns of more than 40 yards. That productivity dipped to 10.8 yards per catch last season, when Shorts had just 53 catches and one touchdown on 110 targets. And Pro Football Focus had him with a rather high drop rate (11.67 percent) in 2014.

Shorts (6-feet, 202 pounds) also has a history of soft-tissue injuries (hamstring, groin). But he could be a nice complementary part for a Jets receiving corps that's now topped by Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker, and Jeremy Kerley.

Shorts is a Cleveland native, and his hometown Browns had been showing interest when free agency began earlier this week, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
