Jets sign Josh Reynolds in NFL free agency to bolster receiver depth

The Jets added some experience to their wide receivers room Thursday, signing free agent Josh Reynolds.

Reynolds, 30, knows new Jets coach Aaron Glenn and offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand from his time with the Lions from 2021-23.

New Jets general manager Darren Mougey also is familiar with Reynolds from last season when Reynolds played five games for the Broncos, where Mougey was the ᴀssistant GM.

Reynolds has played for the Rams, тιтans, Lions, Broncos and Jaguars in his eight-year career.

He has 233 career receptions for 3,127 yards and 20 touchdowns.

Last season, he split the year between the Broncos and Jaguars and had 13 catches for 194 yards and one touchdown.

The Jets have very little experience at receiver on their roster after cutting Davante Adams this offseason.

Garrett Wilson is entering his fourth season and is the team’s No. 1 receiver, but at the moment, Xavier Gipson, Tyler Johnson and Malachi Corley are the other top receivers on the team.

Allen Lazard still is on the Jets roster but is not expected to be with the team this season.

The NFL Network reported the deal for Reynolds is one year and can be worth up to $5 million. The Jaguars released Reynolds on March 7.
