Jets would be committing organizational malpractice if trade deadline rumors are true

The NFL's trade deadline is just hours away, and the New York Jets are reportedly not interested in making wide-ranging changes to their roster. Yes, they dealt away safety Andre Cisco on Monday, and another deal could be coming for someone like Nahshon Wright on Tuesday, but the stars seem to be staying put.

Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer revealed in his column Tuesday morning that they don't plan on making any major trades and actually want to continue to give head coach Aaron Glenn the opportunity to turn things around.

"The Jets have been steadfast that they’re happy with their haul of picks, which includes three first-rounders, for 2027, and want to give their current coaching staff a shot to show owner Woody Johnson that they’re worth keeping around."

Not only that, but the Jets also reportedly turned down a "significant offer" from the Jacksonville Jaguars for disgruntled edge Will McDonald IV before they made their own flurry of trades yesterday, and it's starting to feel like New York is making a major mistake.

New York Jets are making a massive trade deadline mistake

Now, there is always a chance that this is all a negotiating tactic, and the Jets are just doing their best to make teams think they're not dealing anyone important to continue driving up interest in their players over the course of the next few hours.

But at the same time, there have been one too many reports of their stance staying the same over the last week or so, and they plan on giving Glenn a full roster to help save his job.

If that's true, that is genuine malpractice. This team isn't going anywhere, especially with this current coaching staff, and if they're getting real, valuable offers for players like McDonald, Breece Hall, and other starters, triggers need to be pulled on deals.

It would be one thing if the Jets were turning down offers of Day 3 draft picks, because, yes, a fourth- or fifth-round draft pick isn't valuable enough to part ways with players who can still make an impact.

But if a second-round pick is on the table for a guy like McDonald, who doesn't have a full-time role on defense, it makes zero sense why Darren Mougey wouldn't make that trade.

There's still time for the Jets to make these deals, but as each hour goes by, it feels more and more like the reporting is unfortunately accurate.
