Restricted free-agent WR Miles Austin met with the Jets on Friday, and the team is expected to put together an offer sheet for him, according to The Star-Ledger. The Jets are looking for some help at receiver after Laveranues Coles signed with the Bengals.
The meeting went well, according to the newspaper, and the Jets have until April 17 to offer Austin a deal, which will give the Cowboys seven days to match it. If Dallas doesn’t match the offer, it will receive a second-round draft pick as compensation.
The Cowboys plan to have Austin as the team’s No. 2 receiver opposite Roy Williams.
