Jets Interested In Plenty Of Mid-Tier Free Agents

While the Jets have made probably the biggest splash in the offseason so far, they are not nearly done. In the Star-Ledger, Dave Hutchinson notes that the Jets have made contact Eagles cornerback Will James, Patriots cornerback Randall Gay, Patriots safety Eugene Wilson, Bills linebacker Mario Haggan and Chargers right tackle Shane Olivea. They are all expected to visit with the team this upcoming week.

James, 28, was a third-round pick by the Giants in 2001. Some of you may remember him as Will Peterson, but he legally changed his last name to James in 2006. He played his first five seasons in New York and the last two in Philadelphia. He has made 239 tackles and reeled in 6 interceptions through his career. He has been very plagued by injuries, missing four games in 2002, eleven games in 2003, and missed almost the entire 2005 season. The Giants waived him in 2006 because of severe back problems and health issues related to stress fractures in his lower back.

Gay, 25, signed with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent in 2004. He started 9 games for the Patriots last season, recording 37 tackles and three interceptions. He visited with the Jets as a restricted free agent last offseason. In his four-year career, he has made 85 tackles and 5 interceptions.

Wilson, 27, has been injury-plagued throughout his short five-year career so far. In his first 31 games, he recorded 8 interceptions. In his previous 31 games, he?s recorded 2 interceptions.

Haggan, turns 28 on Monday, was a seventh-round draft choice by the Bills in 2003. He has made 79 tackles and one sack throughout his five-year career. He has played an integral role on special teams, leading the team in tackles for the special teams unit for the Bills over the past two seasons. He also helped the team rank first in the overall NFL special teams rankings compiled by the Dallas Morning News in 2004 and 2005. While he has appeared in every game over the past three seasons, he has yet to start an NFL game at linebacker.

Olivea, 26, is a home-town kid, hailing from the Bronx, NY. He stands at six-foot four and weighs 312lbs. He was drafted by the Chargers in the seventh-round of the 2004 NFL Draft and started every game in his rookie season for San Diego. He was originally valued as a third-rounder, but he strained his pectoral muscle lifting weights about a week before the draft and this scared away a lot of teams. In August of 2006, the Chargers rewarded Olivea with a 6-year, $20 million extension. The deal made him the sixth highest-paid right tackle in the NFL at the time. Olivea requested his release for the opportunity to start elsewhere.
