Before Joe Douglas can focus on external targets, he has a handful of impending in-house free agents to evaluate.
The Jets have 28 players set to hit the open market this offseason. Some won’t factor into New York’s plans for 2022, while others, it’s safe to assume, the Jets would like to keep around for a while. Either way, Douglas has a lot of work to do to put together a competitive roster for Robert Saleh’s second year at the helm.
Tevin Coleman was brought to New York to add experience and scheme familiarity to Mike LaFleur’s running back room. The decision mostly panned out, as Coleman was a productive right-hand man to rookie Michael Carter when he was able to get on the field.
Carter is the Jets’ running back of the future, but it’s going to take more than just him for the ground game to thrive. Should New York bring Coleman back as Carter’s No. 2 in 2022? Let’s evaluate the situation in Jets Wire’s latest free agent profile.
