Report: Jets have inquired about Metcalf, Brown

The New York Jets have inquired about trading for DK Metcalf and A.J. Brown as they look to acquire a game-changing wide receiver, sources told SNY's Ralph Vacchiano.

The Jets reportedly also looked into trading for the Houston Texans' Brandin Cooks, but the veteran apparently inked a two-year extension, ending speculation about his future.

Metcalf and Brown have also been tied to the rumor mill recently, but the Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans reportedly haven't made their respective stars available for trade.

The Jets revealed their desire to add a marquee wideout by making a run at landing Tyreek Hill from the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs ultimately traded Hill to the Miami Dolphins.

New York reportedly also had interest in Calvin Ridley before the NFL suspended the Atlanta Falcons star for gambling on games. The Jets talked to the Dallas Cowboys about Amari Cooper as well before they sent him to the Cleveland Browns.

Metcalf and Brown are entering the final year of their contracts. Both are in line for massive new deals due to their abilities to stretch the field and in light of the exploding receiver market.

The Jets struggled in the passing game last season, with Elijah Moore leading the club in receiving with 538 yards and five touchdowns. Corey Davis put up 492 yards and four touchdowns in his first campaign with New York after coming over as a free agent from the Titans. Moore and Davis both missed stretches of the season due to injury.
