Ja'Sir Taylor was a legitimate cut candidate for the LA Chargers at the end of the 2025 preseason. Now, just months later, the Chargers managed to receive draft capital by trading the 2022 sixth-round pick to the New York Jets.
It may not be prominent draft capital, but it's draft capital nonetheless. The Jets are trading a conditional 2028 seventh-round pick to the Chargers for Taylor's services. It's unclear what the conditions are.
Taylor has played virtually no role on the Chargers' defense this season, so it's shocking to see the Jets trade future draft capital for a cornerback after dealing Sauce Gardner hours earlier.
