The Jet Press Podcast: Jets WR trade targets, Breece Hall, final roster battles

In the latest episode of The Jet Press Podcast, Justin Fried and Mike Luciano discuss New York Jets wide receiver trade targets, Breece Hall trade rumors, the Abdul Carter situation, and final roster battles ahead of the Jets' preseason finale this Friday.

The show started with a brief discussion about the Jets' 31-12 preseason loss to the New York Giants this past weekend, including some notable standouts and key takeaways.

Justin and Mike's conversation about the Giants game was interrupted by the Jets' trade for former Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Jowon Briggs. We broke down the Briggs acquisition and what it means for the rest of the team's defensive line situation.

Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported on Wednesday that the Jets are monitoring the wide receiver market ahead of next week's roster cut deadline. Justin and Mike discussed the report and analyzed a few names the Jets could consider targeting.

Are big names like Chris Olave, Jakobi Meyers, and even Romeo Doubs feasible? What about someone like Indianapolis Colts speedster Alec Pierce? Justin even threw out some low-profile, cheap names like Diontae Johnson and Curtis Samuel.

Ultimately, it seems unlikely that the Jets trade significant assets to a receiver needing a new contract, but anything is possible. This was a fun discussion.

Head coach Aaron Glenn once again shut down Breece Hall trade rumors when speaking to reporters earlier this week, and while it seems unlikely that the team deals their running back before Week 1, a midseason trade is looking increasingly probable. Hall has struggled at times this summer.

Finally, Justin and Mike previewed this weekend's upcoming preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles, taking a look at a few players fighting for the final roster spots, including the likes of Jarrick Bernard-Converse, Brandon Smith, Donovan Edwards, and Jay Tufele.

Could Edwards make a late surge for the 53-man roster? What about undrafted rookies like Jamaal Pritchett and Quentin Skinner? How does the Briggs trade affect the defensive tackle room? All of that was discussed in detail.
