Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
It's unclear if the Jets hope to strike a deal before free agency launches Tuesday, but the pass-catcher clearly is part of the plan. Cumberland gives the Jets a serviceable target in the passing game. He hauled in 26 catches for 398 yards and four scores last season alongside fellow tight end Kellen Winslow. With a position group that currently includes names like Konrad Reuland, Zach Sudfeld, Chris Pantale and Colin Anderson, keeping Cumberland makes sense.
