Three veteran wide receivers the Jets could target in a trade are unhappy with their current contracts and are not expected to participate in on-field work during their respective teams’ offseason workouts, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The players in question are the Titans’ A.J. Brown, the 49ers’ Deebo Samuel and the Commanders’ Terry McLaurin. Schefter added that McLaurin is expected to attend the beginning of the Commanders’ offseason program, but it’s unclear if Brown or Samuel will attend their respective teams’ programs.
This is a huge development considering the Jets’ obvious interest in adding a young, star receiver. New York already missed out on Calvin Ridley, Amari Cooper and Tyreek Hill, and it sounds like D.K. Metcalf isn’t available. The Titans, 49ers and Commanders haven’t publically said they’re open to trading any of the three wideouts, but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t listen.
