Joe Douglas made headlines this past season when he boldly stated he would always pick up the phone to discuss trades for any of his players. While he categorically stated this past week that he wouldn’t trade the two focal points of the trade deadline in 2019 – Jamal Adams and Le’Veon Bell – Douglas will likely field calls on other players this summer in his quest to build a competitive team.

The Jets don’t have many tradable assets this offseason besides Adams and Bell, so the trade market for Douglas’ players isn’t great. He’ll likely look to offload expendable and expensive players who were darlings of the previous regime in order to acquire additional draft capital. 

With that in mind, here are five players the Jets could trade this offseason.

ILB Avery Williamson

Williamson is also a salary cap cut candidate but could be a good trade chip if a team values a productive, veteran inside linebacker. He’s still a good linebacker and is only 27 years old and led the Jets with 144 tackles in 2018 before missing the 2019 season with a torn ACL.

For the Jets, this would be a way to shed Williamson’s $8.5 million cap hit without incurring the $2 million dead cap hit that would come with cutting him. They would also recoup some sort of compensation. He’d be a great addition to any defense, but it’s unclear if he has any trade value other than a late-round pick.
