The Facts: Cole is signing with the Jets, getting a one-year, $5.5 million deal, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Diehards Line:
According to Schefter, Cole drew as much, if not more interest, than some of the bigger-name free-agent WRs on the open market. That would seem to have more to do with value than past production. As Bleacher Report recently suggested, the wideout has been dependable, if unspectacular, in four NFL seasons. An undrafted free agent out of Kentucky Wesleyan, Cole caught the most passes (55) and scored the most touchdowns (5) of his career in 2020, just in time to hit the open market.
