The dog days of the NFL offseason are upon us. Starting Wednesday, March 11th, teams can officially start making signings and trades. After the 2025 season, many are expected to make major decisions on how to improve their rosters. And the Jets are no exception. Despite major needs on defense, they will need help adding to their new look offense. Under offensive coordinator Frank Reich<\/a>, the Jets passing game should fare much better in 2026. To make that a reality, they will need to be proactive in\u00a0the wide receiver market<\/a>. When healthy, Garrett Wilson is still one of the league’s best playmakers. While Adonai Mitchell showed flashes, the cupboard is looking bare beyond those two. So, who are some veteran wide receivers New York can target this offseason? Here are five names who could make sense to head to New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Five Free Agent Wide Receivers the Jets Can Target<\/h2>\n

Alec Pierce<\/h3>\n

One of the most coveted names on the market. After spending his entire career in Indianapolis, Colts<\/a> wide receiver Alec Pierce is ready to get paid. In 2025, Pierce led the Colts in receiving yards<\/a>, despite finishing fourth in targets and missing two games. At 25 years old and standing at 6’3, 215lbs, Pierce possesses great size for an outside receiver. He will have plenty of interest this offseason. However, with the Jets’ cap space and the chance to reunite with former teammate Adonai Mitchell and his former head coach, Frank Reich, New York could be more appealing to Pierce<\/a> than many expect.<\/p>\n
