Quiet Trade Deadline
A year after making major trades, the New York Jets kept things quiet at the deadline. General manager Darren Mougey only made one minor move by sending backup safety Andre Cisco to the Detroit Lions for a 2029 sixth-round pick.
With a record of 21 losses in their last 26 games, some fans expected the team to sell off assets. Instead, the Jets preferred to keep their 2027 roster intact and give coach Aaron Glenn a chance to develop the young players.
Decisions on Key Players
Quarterback Geno Smith was the subject of trade buzz, but the team never entertained moving him. Trading Smith would have hurt the development of young players like wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. and tight ends Mason Taylor and Kenyon Sadiq.
Wide receiver Garrett Wilson drew interest from other teams, but he did not want to leave and the Jets view him as a foundational piece. Running back Breece Hall also stayed put, keeping his tandem with Braelon Allen intact for the future.
Handling Discontent
Edge rusher Will McDonald IV requested a trade and drew a significant offer from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Even so, the Jets kept him because coach Aaron Glenn considers him a huge part of the plan and noted that McDonald has earned more playing time.
Cornerback Nahshon Wright also hoped for a trade after losing his defensive role. He will now finish out the final eight games of his contract with the team.
