At the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, the Jets seemed to be strategizing for the future. Speculation swirls that they’ve already been eyeing up Garrett Wilson’s potential new partner, even before set plans to part ways with his previous ones.
Tetairoa McMillan’s meeting with the Jets suggests he might be the perfect candidate to fill the shoes of Davante Adams and Allen Lazard. The discussion comes amid expectations that the Jets will soon move on from these two of Aaron Rodgers’ preferred targets, freeing up a significant $36 million in cap space in the process.
Regarded as one of the top prospects, McMillan stands out as the draft class’s leading receiver among several teams who primarily see two-way playmaker Travis Hunter as more of a cornerstone at cornerback. It’s an interesting scenario – should McMillan manage to elude the Patriots, who have their sights set at pick number four, the Jets are poised to make a strategic move for him with their slot at number seven.
