4 WR options for the Jaguars after the Amari Cooper trade to the Browns

Those that wanted the Jacksonville Jaguars to acquire wide receiver Amari Cooper this offseason were probably disappointed when they saw the Dallas Cowboys trade the four-time Pro Bowler to the Cleveland Browns. But the Jags haven’t run out of options just yet and they will have the chance to add a wide receiver in free agency, which is just hours away.

The Jaguars have the cap space to make a bid for pretty much every free agent they want and if they are aggressive, they should have no trouble landing one of the top wide receivers in the open market. In particular, they could land any of these four wide receivers.

No.1 wide receiver the Jaguars can land – JuJu Smith Schuster.

This year’s wide receiver market won’t be a robust one but the Jaguars will still have several options if they want to sign one. Even though JuJu Smith-Schuster hauled in just a measly 15 receptions last season, his best football may be ahead of him.

A second-round pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2017 NFL Draft, Smith-Schuster had to settle on a one-year deal last offseason but it wasn’t because of a lack of talent. After all, he caught 308 receptions with 26 touchdowns in his four NFL seasons and you could make the case that his numbers took a hit last season because Ben Roethlisberger favored fellow wide receiver Diontae Johnson and tight end Pat Freiermuth.

While Smith-Schuster’s 2021 production should be a cause of concern, signing him could pay off if he plays the way he did early in his career.
