There are lots of rumors about the Jets and what they may do before 4 p.m. Eastern tomorrow afternoon, which is the trade deadline in the NFL. On today's show, we're going to talk about the price it should take for the Jets to trade certain players. We'll talk about a handful of players. The Jets should actively be looking to shop. But we're going to begin the show

by talking about why the Jets should not be huge sellers at the trade deadline. And when you're

one in seven, I think it's natural to assume that a team is going to be a seller at the trade deadline. And when you're one in seven, I think it's natural to assume that

a team is going to be a seller at the trade deadline, particularly when you have a number of players

who could bring back some sort of compensation in return. But that's different from saying

the New York Jets should be a team selling off all of its parts. I do not think that that's the

case. We talked about this a little bit on Friday,

but I'd like to go more depth into it and with more depth today. I compare the current Jets team to

where the Jets were a year ago in 2024 at the trade deadline. Now, that was a team that I think

was set up to be a big seller. That was a team that should have been a big seller. And I don't

think the 24 Jets management gets enough grief for not being a big seller at the trade deadline.

Because that was a team with a lot of really old players who were close to the end of their careers.

And more importantly, players, you knew we're not coming back in 2025.

I mean, if you go back to where the Jets were a year ago, they were a team that was three and six at this point. Yeah, they were coming off a win on Halloween night over the Houston Texans, but there was very little chance that was going to spark a revival. We knew that the 2024 season was over by that point. The trade deadline came. The Jets held on to Mork and Moses.

They held on to Tyrone Smith. They held on to Hassan Reddick, and they held on to Devante Adams. And these were four players that, for various reasons, we knew we're not going to return to the team in 2025. You know, for Moses, it was that he was a free agent in his mid-30s, and he was probably going to get a multi-year deal,

which just did not align with what the Jets needed. In Reddick's case, it was a guy who was never really interested in being a jet in the first place. In Adams' case, the contract the Jets traded for when they got him from the Raiders just made it prohibitive to bring him back. And in Smith's case, you know, he wasn't playing that well.

And we knew he was at the end of his career.
