The free agency is just around the corner and tonight is like Christmas Eve for NFL fans. The actual action will start in the morning, but we are already starting to receive reports on what is to come. The more we hear, the more it looks like the Jets will be big players in what will be a very interesting market due to the lowering of the salary cap.
We already heard that the Jets would chase the Patriots guard Joe Thuney, and apparently not the only big goal that interests them. The expectation of sources throughout the league is that the Jets will “make waves” in free agency Connor Hughes of Athletic. tweets. GM Joe Douglas he’s apparently ready to be a big investor and “there’s no financial constraint on Douglas this offseason,” Hughes writes.
Hughes goes on to say that Douglas “has the means and the green light to build the team the way he wants. That means looking for top-tier FAs and giving them top-level $, if he wants to.” tweet, Hughes says a source told him the Jets “want the big ones.” When asked if that meant size or money, he replied “both.”
Thuney would surely fit those two criteria. Finally, Hughes tweets that while Douglas will be “aggressive,” he will not be reckless and will have “his numbers.” A source told Hughes that “Joe doesn’t make him desperate.”
