The Jets entered this offseason with a plan to spend money responsibly. So far, new general manager Joe Douglas has done just that, signing two offensive linemen (George Fant and Connor McGovern) to team-friendly contracts. The Jets also re-signed Brian Poole and Alex Lewis, two key contributors to last year’s team. Now, with the second wave of free agency beginning, the Jets can address their remaining needs. Here are my targets for the Jets for the second wave of free agency.

Jadeveon Clowney

Clowney is unexpectedly still on the market as teams seem unwilling to meet his desired contract. With his price beginning to fall and the Jets’ need for quality pass-rushers, I believe the Jets should pay up. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams would love to have a talent like Clowney who’s versatility is extremely valuable. The Jets haven’t had a talent of Clowney’s caliber for a while and if the price comes down enough, the Jets should pounce on Clowney.

Logan Ryan

Another pressing need for the Jets is the cornerback position. With the release of Trumaine Johnson and the looming release of Darryl Roberts, Brian Poole and Bless Austin are currently the only true corners in New York. Logan Ryan would bring a veteran presence and championship pedigree to a young Jets defensive unit. A secondary consisting of Jamal Adams, Marcus Maye, Poole, Austin and Ryan would certainly be a very enticing unit.

Robby Anderson

The Jets have yet to re-sign Robby Anderson. His market is reportedly not as strong as he expected, likely due to the amount of quality receivers in the upcoming NFL Draft. With this in mind, I expect Anderson to return to New York on a short-term deal. A focal point of the Jets offense in 2019, it would be a shame if Anderson weren’t in a Jet uniform next year.

Jason Peters

While the Jets recently signed George Fant, Fant is capable of sliding over to right tackle if need be. I believe that Jason Peters would be the perfect choice to protect Sam Darnold’s blindside, and there is a connection to the Jets as Joe Douglas was with Peters in Philadelphia. A veteran left tackle like Peters would vastly improve the Jets’ offensive line and it would allow the Jets to draft a premier wide receiver with their 11th overall selection in the upcoming NFL Draft. The signing of Peters would potentially be enough to complete the wall for Darnold and Le’Veon Bell.
