Although it’s still considered a “long shot,” the Jets have reportedly not “completely” ruled out making a run at free agent Nnamdi Asomugha.

There’s a better chance Antonio Cromartie will be brought back, but the Jets won’t “break the bank” to do so. Beat writer Rich Cimini believes it would be “foolish” to hand a starting job to Kyle Wilson with no offseason practices to ease the transition. The Jets could be in the market for a stopgap solution opposite Darrelle Revis.

Jets coach Rex Ryan believes Kyle Wilson has rebounded from a rough rookie year to emerge as the NFL’s best nickel back this season.

“He’s playing unbelievable for us and it’s only going to get better,” added Darrelle Revis. “He wants it. He wants to be great and he’s on the way.” Pro Football Focus has rated Wilson as the No. 49 NFL cornerback this year after he graded out 54th last season. If the Jets are so confident in Wilson, perhaps they’ll leave him in the slot to cover Wes Welker this week.

Kyle Wilson will take Darrelle Revis’ (knee) spot in the starting lineup.

Wilson, a third-year pro out of Boise State, has been up-and-down as the slot corner. Now that he’s playing every down opposite Antonio Cromartie, the Jets are going to have to adjust their whole scheme. Ellis Lankster will slide into the No. 3 role, leaving this secondary as one to attack in fantasy circles.

Rex Ryan may be forced to play more zone coverage with Darrelle Revis (concussion) out for Sunday’s contest against the Steelers.

The Jets secondary would likely be exposed in man-to-man coverage against the Steelers three-receiver sets if they aggressively blitz Ben Roethlisberger. Kyle Wilson will start in place of Revis, leaving them with Ellis Lankster and Isaiah Trufant as their No. 3 and No. 4 corners. Needless to say, this is a great matchup for Roethlisberger as well as WRs Antonio Brown and Mike Wallace.

Jets CB Kyle Wilson is “destined” to resume nickel back duties after the Jets drafted Dee Milliner.

Wilson’s last Rotoworld blurb stated that he was expected to start on the outside in 2013. That has since changed. Wilson covered the slot in his first two seasons before playing outside in 2012, so it’s not an unfamiliar role. The Jets project to trot out another top-ten defense, but scoring points offensively has been a major issue throughout most of Rex Ryan’s tenure.

Kyle Wilson has been working mostly as the Jets’ nickel corner during offseason workouts.

Wilson held his own while taking over for Darrelle Revis last season, but will be challenged by first-round pick Dee Milliner for the No. 2 spot behind Antonio Cromartie. After making 13 starts on the outside in 2012, Wilson is expected to return to slot duties.

Kyle Wilson is expected to take over as the Jets’ full-time starting corner opposite Antonio Cromartie.

It’s easy to forget that even though Darrelle Revis missed 13 games last year, the Jets had the NFL’s No. 2 pass defense. Give credit to Cromartie, who was borderline dominant as a shadow corner, and Wilson, who held up reasonably well against No. 2 wideouts. The Jets could add competition for Wilson in the form of a draft pick. They’ve been linked to Houston cornerback D.J. Hayden.

Saints placed CB Kyle Wilson on injured reserve.

The Saints haven’t disclosed his injury. Wilson entered the league as a first-round pick in 2010 but hasn’t lived up to expectations. He’s logged just four interceptions over 95 career games including one in 15 contests last season. The 28-year-old is headed for free agency after this season.

Saints CB Kyle Wilson (I.R.) suffered a torn labrum in his shoulder.

This is mostly for bookkeeping purposes as the Saints did not disclose Wilson’s injury when they put him on injured reserve. Wilson is scheduled to be a free agent after this season.

Saints CB Kyle Wilson is “on the outside looking in” for a roster spot.

Wilson was outplayed by Delvin Breaux throughout OTAs. The Saints aren’t expected to give up on Stanley Jean-Baptiste after one season, and don’t want to risk stashing fifth-round CB Damian Swann on the practice squad. Signed for the veteran minimum, Wilson needs to win slot duties to avoid getting cut.
