5 players the Jets could trade this summer

The Jets don’t have many tradeable assets but they could ship off these five players to save money and grab more draft capital.

DE Henry Anderson

Anderson disappointed a year after the Jets re-signed him to a three-year, $25 million contract and his safety on the team could be in doubt with the new front office and coaching staff. After a breakout 2018 campaign that included seven sacks and 16 quarterback hits, Anderson’s totals dropped to one sack and nine quarterback hits.

The Jets could try to shop Anderson given his usage in Gregg Williams’ defense and the bounty of younger and cheaper defensive ends on the roster. Anderson’s snap total dropped from 59.64 percent in 2018 to only 40.60 percent despite starting 10 more games this past season. He also never played more than 47 snaps in a game in 2018 a year after doing that five times for Kacy Rodgers and Todd Bowles.
