Aaron Glenn defends Jets’ quiet trade deadline approach

The New York Jets, a 2-7 football team, just had one of the quieter NFL trade deadlines of any team in the NFL.

Their lone move was trading away Andre Cisco, who was demoted to the fourth safety role, to the Detroit Lions for a 2029 sixth-round pick.

Usually, a 2-7 team enters sell mode when you get to the deadline to try to get future capital to help retool in the offseason. The Jets didn't do that, and the reason given by Aaron Glenn is extremely difficult to defend.

Aaron Glenn says New York Jets 'on the cusp' of being better

Glenn said the Jets being "on the cusp" is the reason why they had a relatively quiet trade deadline. He's 5-21 through six games.
