The New York Jets have been heavily linked to OBJ, but they have other wide receiver options worth considering.
The New York Jets are a team to watch very closely for the remainder of the offseason. Although they have yet to acquire Aaron Rodgers, the overwhelming expectation is that they will be bringing in the superstar quarterback.
Acquiring Rodgers will make the Jets look significantly better on paper, and it should help their chances of competing in the AFC East. To help their chances of being a playoff even further, they should be looking to bring in a high-impact wide receiver before the start of the year. This is why they have been linked to Odell Beckham Jr.
The idea of signing OBJ is an exciting one but not a guarantee, as he has been fielding plenty of interest around the league. If he ends up signing elsewhere or simply asks for too much, the Jets should consider other options. Let’s go over three weapons besides OBJ that the Jets should target because of this.
3 Aaron Rodgers weapons that the Jets need to get not named OBJ
3. Allen Robinson II
The Los Angeles Rams have given Allen Robinson II permission to seek a trade, but a move has still not come to fruition. The Jets should take advantage of this because he has shown in the past that he can be a real difference-maker while performing at his highest level. The chances of that occurring also increase when noting that he would have a spectacular quarterback in Rodgers throwing him the ball.
Robinson appeared in 10 games this past season with the Rams, where he recorded three touchdowns, 33 receptions, and 339 receiving yards. It was a solid year for the 6-foot-2 wide receiver, but he has the potential to put up even better totals while playing with a QB like Rodgers.
With the Rams actively shopping Robinson, there is a good chance that the Jets would not need to give up a major trade package to acquire him. Due to this, this is an avenue that the Jets need to at least consider.
