Jets depth at wide receiver is a concern entering final cuts, with Josh Reynolds likely the WR2 behind Garrett Wilson. A veteran upgrade via trade—Tim Patrick from Detroit—could reunite Aaron Glenn with the veteran and stabilize the group fast.

Detroit’s top targets remain Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, with Kalif Raymond and Isaac TeSlaa behind them. Patrick would be a high-impact addition if available, potentially shifting roles and expectations in a run-first offense. Calls between Jets and Lions before Tuesday’s cuts could determine Patrick’s fate and the Jets’ immediate WR ceiling.

Two Jets acquisitions—Jowon Briggs and Harrison Phillips—signal urgency to fortify the roster. Reuniting Glenn with Patrick would require a favorable fit and cap calculus, but the upside for New York’s offense is clear: more trusted route-running veteran presence to support Wilson, with Reynolds remaining a productive secondary option if Patrick lands elsewhere.
