Welcome, this is the Locked-on Jets podcast, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every day.

It is Tuesday, March 17, 26. Happy St. Patrick's Day. I'm your host, John B from gangreneation.com. Thank you so much for making the show your first listener, first watch every day, and for making lockdown the number one sports podcast network. Big shout out to you every dayers. If you're new to the show, this is a daily podcast covering the New York Jets with new episodes each day through the week, Monday through Friday. On today's show, we're breaking down the Big Jets news. Justin Fields has been traded to the Kansas City Chiefs after one season with the team. The Jets receive a draft pick in return. This draft pick is a reminder that the Jets have a ton of draft capital over the next two years. It's a chance to remake the team. We'll talk about that on today's show. We'll also talk about the lessons the Jets can take from Fields's failures, namely what they

need to do better to build a proper offense around to Gino Smith. But first, let's talk about the

big picture implications of this trade. Fields is on his way to Kansas City. The Jets receive

a sixth round pick in 2027 and a little bit of salary cap relief.

The Jets will pay most of fields of salary, but they get about $3 million in salary cap space.

You can take a look at this from the little picture or the big picture.

The little picture is the Jets made the obvious move.

I don't think that there's a team in the league that would have turned down the trade offer the Jets got from the Kansas City Chiefs for Justin Fields.

Everybody knew the Jets had to get rid of Fields. Everybody knew he could not come back.

The ship had sailed on Justin Fields. Maybe Fields can turn it around on a new team.

And for his sake, Kansas City is a

pretty good place to land because you end up with a great offensive coaching staff. They have

a track record for getting the most out of their offensive players, particularly their quarterback.

So it's a nice place for Fields to go. I'm not entirely sure why the Chiefs would make a trade

for Fields, but it just goes to show you that you never know who actually has trade value in this league.

A week ago, I didn't think Gino Smith could be traded, but apparently the Jets really wanted him.

I didn't think for the entire offseason that anybody would want to trade for Justin Fields, but here are the Kansas City Chiefs, giving up a late round pick for Fields and taking out a little bit of salary, not a whole lot.
