Jets Expected To Trade $60M Wide Receiver Courtland Sutton

The New York Jets have made significant changes this offseason by releasing veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Davante Adams, opting to build around young quarterback Justin Fields. While Fields is seen as a potential franchise quarterback, there is skepticism about his long-term viability, with some analysts predicting the Jets may look to draft a new quarterback by 2026 if Fields does not meet expectations. The Jets also face challenges at the wide receiver position, as beyond Garrett Wilson, the receiving corps lacks proven talent. To bolster Fields' supporting cast and improve their postseason chances, analysts have suggested pursuing a trade for Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton, a veteran entering the final year of his contract who could serve as a strong WR2. Sutton’s availability and contract situation make him a logical target for the Jets, who need to address this positional weakness to better evaluate Fields’ potential. Overall, the Jets' offseason moves reflect a youth-driven rebuild focused on developing Fields while seeking key offensive additions to support him.
