Jets trade Christian Hackenberg to Raiders
Christian HackenbergChristian Hackenberg’s Jets career is over, technically before it ever started.
The Jets dealt Hackenberg, their 2016 second-round pick, to the Raiders in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick on Tuesday afternoon. Hackenberg never played in a regular-season game for the Jets.
A Penn State product, Hackenberg was highly touted at one point in his college career, but fell off due to accuracy concerns. Those were realized with the Jets, keeping Hackenberg from ever getting on the field despite the team being perpetually in need of a quarterback.
This amounts to the Jets giving up on Hackenberg, flushing a second-round pick down the toilet.
