The New York Jets are going to have some big decisions to consider ahead of the Tuesday, November 4 NFL trade deadline.
NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero revealed that Quinnen Williams is “a name I would continue to keep an eye on.”
“Quinnen Williams is a guy who is still young, especially at a position where you can play for a long time. But you would be getting potential value here. The price on Quinnen Williams would be I would anticipate a first-round pick and more. You actually might have offers in that range for Quinnen Williams. If you’re looking to accelerate your rebuild, making those types of big, bold decisions is one way you can do it. So I would keep an eye on the Jets,” Pelissero explained on “The Rich Eisen Show.”
“So keep an eye on that, they aren’t actively shopping Quinnen Williams, but it would not shock me at minimum if they have the type of offers put in front of them sometime in the next four days that’ll give them something to think about prior to Tuesday,” Pelissero added.
Insiders Reiterate Same Message on Jets’ Strategy Ahead of Trade Deadline
“They actually do have a bunch of players that would make sense [to trade], but they are not going to take pennies on the dollar,” Pelissero said on “The Rich Eisen Show” on Friday, October 31.
The Jets have “gotten plenty of calls for their top players. Breece Hall, Quinnen Williams, and Jermaine Johnson II have drawn headlines for the Jets. All would require a high price — perhaps too high for what acquiring teams would want to pay. An offer a team can’t refuse would likely be necessary, with Jets GM Darren Mougey [not] conducting anything close to a fire sale. More likely, it’ll be closer to players such as Michael Carter II (who was sent to Philadelphia last week),” NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport explained in a column on Sunday, November 2.
ESPN’s Rich Cimini wrote, “Barring an offer they can’t refuse, the Jets won’t trade running back Breece Hall. You can put defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and defensive end Will McDonald IV in this category, too.”
Other Jets Players to Watch Ahead of Trade Deadline
Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic predicted that linebacker Quincy Williams will be traded to the San Francisco 49ers for a day-three pick. That would reunite Williams with Robert Saleh, who is now the defensive coordinator in San Fran.
“Williams is the one to watch because he’s in the final year of his contract. The San Francisco 49ers, who have former Jets coach Robert Saleh as the defensive coordinator, have a need at linebacker,” Cimini noted.
Jermaine Johnson “was told by the front office that he won’t be traded; that hasn’t stopped teams from calling,” Cimini revealed.
At 1-7, most people would assume the Jets would dress up as sellers for Halloween. However, Cimini wrote, “Don’t dismiss the possibility of the Jets trading for a player. Safety and offensive line are two position groups to watch.”
