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.

CB Trumaine Johnson

This trade would be Douglas’ last-ditch effort to rid themselves of Johnson and his gaudy contract without being hit with a $12 million cap hit. The only way the Jets could pull this off, though, is if they sweeten the trade by offering teams a draft pick to take on the contract, much like what the Texans did by trading Brock Osweiler and a second-round pick to the Browns in 2017.

Johnson could still be a good cornerback, but he’s too expensive and ineffective to stay with the Jets. A team like the Dolphins, Buccaneers or Giants would be the only teams interested in an unlikely trade like this one.
