What the heck, man.

Well, the NFL's trade deadline has come and gone, and the New York Jets made no consequential moves. Despite a minor trade on Monday that shipped Andre Cisco to the Detroit Lions and rumblings that a deal for Nahson Wright could be in the works, Darren Mougey stood pat on Tuesday.

No deal for Will McDonald IV, a player who very publicly requested a trade on Monday morning, or Breece Hall, who is taking snaps away from Braelon Allen, who had been one of the best running backs in football while Hall was out with an injury.

Instead, the Jets, at 2-7, will ride out the remainder of the season with the same roster that got them there, giving Aaron Glenn a chance to prove to ownership that he's the right guy for the job... despite his 5-21 record.

Honestly, this is organizational malpractice from the Jets, especially if they were receiving legitimately good offers from playoff contenders looking to pluck some of the more talented players from New York's ranks.
