STUNNING: Michael Carter’s contract extension with New York Jets led to the departure of the Jets’ best player.

However, the news of Carter’s extension has apparently led to a rift between the Jets and Reed, who was also acquired by the team in the 2021 offseason and had established himself as one of the team’s top defensive players.

Reed, who was reportedly seeking a contract extension of his own from the Jets, has apparently become frustrated with the team’s allocation of resources and its lack of commitment to retaining him as a key member of the defense.

“D.J. Reed was not happy with the Jets’ decision,” said one NFL insider.

The departure of Reed represents a significant loss for the Jets, as the talented cornerback had been one of the team’s most reliable and effective defensive players over the past two seasons, recording multiple interceptions and pass breakups and earning praise from coaches and teammates for his instincts and playmaking ability.

The Jets will now need to find a way to replace Reed in the secondary, either by signing a free agent or promoting a player from within the team’s depth chart, and will need to address the team’s defensive needs in the coming weeks and months.

For Reed, the decision to leave the Jets represents a calculated risk, as he will now need to find a new team and prove himself all over again in a new environment and system.

However, Reed’s decision to part ways with the Jets may also be seen as a statement of his confidence in his own abilities and his desire to find a team that will value and appreciate him as a key contributor to its defense.

“D.J. Reed is ready for a fresh start,” said one NFL analyst.
