Now that the regular season is over, attention has already started to turn towards what the New York Jets will be able to do to improve their team’s chances in 2024. One weakness that became increasingly apparent over the course of the 2023-24 season was the lack of an established pass-catching threat to pair with Garrett Wilson.
