While the Jets future at quarterback may be uncertain, the team is still adding pieces to their offense. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports (via Twitter) that New York is adding wideout Corey Davis. The former first-rounder will get a three-year, $37.5MM deal, including $27MM in guaranteed money.
The former fifth-overall pick overcame a disappointing rookie campaign and put together a solid three-year stretch with the Titans. The 26-year-old had a career year in 2020, hauling in 65 receptions for 984 yards and five touchdowns. Davis also had three touchdowns in six career playoff games with Tennessee. Back in February, Titans GM Jon Robinson made it sound like the team was prepared to lose the wideout in free agency.
The Jets entered the offseason with a solid core at wideout. Leading receiver Jamison Crowder is still under contract, and the team is also still rostering notables like Braxton Berrios (37 receptions) and 2020 second-round pick Denzel Mims.
Davis has secured the largest contract of the day among wide receivers. The Patriots committed $26MM to Nelson Agholor and $22.5MM to Kendrick Bourne, while Jamal Agnew got a deal that could be worth up to $21MM from the Jaguars.
I like this move after striking out all day.
Great addition for Zach Wilson to throw to.
If the jets are smart they will trade that pick and run with Darnald. They could almost fill their team out and be a playoff team with the extra top picks.
If they’re smart, they’ll keep Darnold and the pick and draft Sewell.
I like this deal better than my Patriots deals. smh
(for WRs)
I’m surprised the Patriots didn’t sign him. They have plenty of cap space.
They were likely in on him. He may have wanted more to sign in NE due to the uncertainty at QB where NY likely takes a top tier QB in the draft.
Great pickup
So u pass on the best o lineman available and sign this JAG smh
He’s not a JAG. Have you watched football?
He’s just a guy
I don’t think they passed on the linemen – most likely they passed on the Jets.
Would’ve preferred Davis to Agholor
Have another year of mediocrity Jets fans. Corey Davis isn’t worth more than $5 million/year. I watched how horrible he was over the last 4 years.
he stinks
A guy who was 16 yards shy of a 1k season in only 14 games with a 70% catch percentage and he stinks? Man you’re a tough judge
He was disappointing in Tennessee until last year. This guy’s not the #1 WR they needed.
