Jets Explore Blockbuster Trades for Cornerback, Free Agent Assets

The New York Jets are exploring potential trades and roster moves as they prepare for the 2025 NFL season. Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski suggested the Jets should pursue Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs, whose value has reportedly dropped to a 2026 sixth-round pick due to injury concerns, as he would complement Jets star cornerback Sauce Gardner and enhance their defense. Additionally, veteran offensive lineman Chukwuma Okorafor, signed recently to a one-year deal, is considered a potential trade asset, continuing the Jets' history of flipping free agents for better draft capital, similar to their 2018 trade of Teddy Bridgewater. Meanwhile, the Jets are also facing uncertainty with their high-profile unrestricted free agents, such as Nikolaj Ehlers, whose future remains unclear amid contract negotiations and market interest. These moves reflect the Jets' efforts to balance building a competitive roster while managing player contracts and potential trade value. Outside the NFL, Keenan Allen, a veteran wide receiver recently traded from the Chargers to the Bears, is projected as a valuable WR3 and may seek opportunities elsewhere given the Chargers' current receiver depth chart.
