Florham Park – According to an ESPN report, the Jets tried to trade WR Stephen Hill this summer.
While it might be hard to find a partner, one team to consider is Cleveland.
If Josh Gordon gets suspended, the Browns starting wide receivers will be Miles Austin and Andrew Hawkins.
The Browns are thin at receiver, and Mike Pettine was on the Jets’ staff when the team picked Hill in the second round of the 2012 draft, so he knows the player personally (Hill is a good person who works hard).
Perhaps the Jets could extract a late round pick for Hill.
Or how about trying to trade Hill for a cornerback, like former Jet Aaron Berry, who is now a backup in Cleveland, and on the bubble?
