Some teams made some big deals at the trade deadline, like Miami, but the Jets did the right thing staying away from that.
In most sports, when a team makes a big deal at the deadline, it’s often to give them that one piece they might be missing to help spearhead a championship run.
However, when a big focus of a season is seemingly to develop the young quarterback, why mortgage future premium draft picks for a star player at the deadline?
Miami obviously feels they are a pass rusher away from making a Super Bowl run, so they made a blockbuster deal to acquire Denver OLB Bradley Chubb.
That wouldn’t have made a ton of sense for the Jets, since letting the developmental QB learn on the job is perhaps a main focus this year.
Maybe a blockbuster deal at the trade deadline will make more sense next year.
