LOST HOPE: Jets have no more choices

With one week left before NFL free agency begins, the list shrank even further as another wide receiver was cut on Monday.

Mike Evans, a veteran, and the Buccaneers reached a reported deal on Monday worth $52 million, which will prevent him from hitting the free agent market.

He may not be the final wide receiver removed from the list; he is the most recent.

In the event that a long-term agreement cannot be reached, the Colts are anticipated to apply the franchise tag to Michael Pittman Jr. before Tuesday’s deadline, following the Bengals’ use of it on Tee Higgins.

With the free-agent negotiation window beginning at noon on Monday, where does this leave the Jets?

For a squad searching for a capable backup to youthful sensation Garrett Wilson, the circumstances are not ideal.
