D.J. Reed Expected To Test The Open Market
ESPN New York's Rich Cimini writes that the New York Jets aren't expected to use the franchise tag this year on any of their seven starters that are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents. It makes sense that the Jets aren't looking to retain old players under a new regime with head coach Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey. Cornerback D.J. Reed should attract plenty of interest as a free agent and is expected to test the market after ranking 14th out of 77 cornerbacks in 2024 in EPA per target, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. With the tag amount expected to be more than $20 million for cornerbacks, it will be too rich for the Jets. The 28-year-old missed three games due to injury but was reliable otherwise with 64 tackles (52 solo), one sack and 11 pass breakups in 14 starts for the Jets. There's a good chance he'll sign elsewhere this offseason.
