The Seahawks will make another Saturday trade. They will acquire cornerback Parry Nickerson from the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets.
New York will receive a 2021 conditional seventh-rounder for Nickerson, a 2018 sixth-round pick. Nickerson played in 16 Jets games last season, making two starts.
This marks another quick jettisoning of a Mike Maccagnan draft pick. The Jets cut third-round pick Jachai Polite earlier today, with Joe Douglas making moves to rid the roster of some young players his predecessor acquired.
Douglas said recently he will seek cornerback help off the waiver wire. With a corner being moved off the roster, that is now a near-certainty to occur.
I heard rumors about the Polite cut, but it doesn’t make a lot of sense when he had the ability to be your edge rusher of the future. I see the sense in the trade of Nickerson even though CB is a weakness, if he’s not your answer, though.
wait, dont we need CB’s?
