The New York Jets have not done an exceptional job drafting players during their history.
That lack of success has contributed to the team’s struggles for much of the 21st century. It appears at the NFL trade deadline they’ll have an opportunity to hit the reset button by moving some assets.

A Chance for a Fresh Start
Brent Sobleski of Bleacher Report shared an “ideal trade target” for every team in the NFL ahead of the deadline. One player he listed for the Las Vegas Raiders should be pretty familiar to Jets fans:
Chuma Edoga, offensive lineman
The Raiders are struggling to fill the void at right tackle this season. Back in April, they selected Alex Leatherwood out of Alabama in the first round but he struggled and they shifted him to a different position.
In the column Sobleski argued that Edoga could be the answer to the Raiders’ prayers:
If the Jets are going to move on from veteran safety Marcus Maye, they’re going to have plenty of suitors.
In that same B/R column, the Philadelphia Eagles were listed as a potential landing spot. With all of the injuries and off-the-field situations happening in the NFL, more teams are constantly being added to the list.
Dallas Cowboys
The starting safety for America’s Team, Damontae Kazee, was arrested on a DWI charge this week. Prior to that, there were already a ton of questions about the defensive backfield and this only increased those conversations.
Back in the 2020 offseason, Dallas was heavily involved in the trade discussions for ex-Jets star Jamal Adams. While they lost that bidding war, they can get a nice consolation prize in Maye.
