Jets could target Patriots receiver if he is released
Summary

The New York Jets are expected to show interest in New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas if he is cut this offseason. Douglas, a 25-year-old former sixth-round pick, has struggled for targets and production recently, leading to speculation about his future. The Jets, who had poor wide receiver performance last season, are in need of depth at the position, making Douglas a potential target should he hit free agency. He has recorded 146 targets and 1,629 receiving yards over three seasons.
