The New York Daily News reports the Jets are in "serious negotiations" with free agent TE Jeff Cumberland. The Jets are in love with Cumberland and reportedly expect him to make a big jump in his development next season. It's unclear whether a deal will get hammered out before free agency opens Tuesday afternoon, but the sides have been talking for a few weeks. Cumberland would ideally be a No. 2 catch-first tight end.
