East Rutherford, NJ — Just one year after selecting USC quarterback Sam Darnold, the New York Jets organization had seen enough.
Today, the Jets traded the young quarterback to their arch rival New England Patriots for a rising star in left tackle Isaiah Wynn. Included in the trade, moving from the Jets is also center Chandler Barton, and a Jets 2020 1st round pick.
“In Isaiah Wynn, we see a Joe Thomas type of player” said coach Davis. The price to acquire the tackle was high, but the Jets have shown all off season that they were willing to take risks in acquiring players. Just this free agency period, the Jets were willing to make C.J. Mosley the highest paid LB in 2K Online Franchise history. However, the rebuilding Jets were caught in a bidding war against the Philadelphia Eagles that they eventually lost. “Maybe we will catch Carson Wentz in a year or two” coach Davis chuckled, eluding to Philadelphia possibly not being able to resign the reigning MVP.
Will giving away a future starter in a 1st rd pick be worth it? Only time will tell.
Love me some UGA grads on my squad!
Let’s go!!! Sam Darnold is looking forward to showing the Jets what they gave up
That was pricey!! Hopefully that 1st round pick is in the late 20s!!
Yeah I agree, the price was very high. Lets see how the Jets will end this season. I believe Coach Chuck will improve this team and be even better come next season. Good luck to both teams!
