The Facts: Anderson is on track to be one of the top free agent wide receivers when the new league year gets underway next week, but the door hasn’t been closed on a return to the Jets. “l think they definitely want me back,” Anderson said. “I truly do want to be back with the Jets. I love Sam [Darnold]. I love my teammates, Jamal [Adams] and all those guys. I feel like there’s unfinished business there that I’ve been trying to get done since I got there. I would hope to finish out the mission, all in all, but it’s a business."
Diehards Line:Fortunately for Anderson, word last week was that the Jets were working to come to an agreement with him on a new deal. ... A.J. Green is expected to get a franchise tag from the Bengals while Amari Cooper could be tagged by the Cowboys if Dak Prescott signs a new deal before Monday’s deadline or if the players reject the proposed CBA and play out the season under the rules for the final year of the current one. If both those players are off the market, the Jets might have to pay up if they want to keep Anderson.
