Once again, the Jets have a need at wide receiver. Robby Anderson‘s free agency departure expanded the void Gang Green features at this position.
Prior to the Jets losing Anderson to the Panthers, they were one of the teams to explore trades for DeAndre Hopkins and Stefon Diggs. Joe Douglas confirmed Wednesday the Jets did their due diligence on Hopkins and Diggs, per The Athletic’s Connor Hughes (via Twitter).
Both surfaced in trade rumors midway through last month and were gone within hours of said rumors. The Cardinals sent the Texans a package highlighted by a second-round pick and David Johnson — a deal that shocked the league — and the Bills pried Diggs away from the Vikings for a first-rounder and a host of Day 3 picks. The Vikings reduced their Diggs asking price over the past several months. The Patriots also showed interest in Diggs; the Bills landing him stands to increase their chances to win the AFC East.
The Jets did add Breshad Perriman as an Anderson replacement, doing so at a much cheaper rate, and still have Jamison Crowder in the slot. Quincy Enunwa‘s status is up in the air, Douglas confirmed (Twitter link via Hughes), after he missed 15 games last season because of a neck injury. Enunwa missing the entire 2017 slate because of a neck malady obviously puts his career in jeopardy.
Jets have done next to nothing to help Darnold. It’s honestly a joke
The Jets idea of helping a player is to trade him to another team.
in most cases, that does help
Really? Like who?
The Jets traded Darrelle Revis in 2013 and saw him do well with both the Bucs and Pats. In a rare move for the Jets they actually corrected a mistake and brought him back in 2017. He provided them with 5 picks that season.
if they were in on Hopkins I’m supposed they let Arizona get him so cheap
Yeah I’ve liked what the new gm has done so far but hopkins is worth 2 2nd round picks which is more than what the Texans got. Jets have a bad rb contract too in bell which equals David Johnson if they were intent on helping another team shed cap
