The NY Jets finally did what everyone expected them to do, trading Sam Darnold for future assets.

The fact that the Jets were still able to trade Darnold when their dance partners were limited, speaks volumes to general manager Joe Douglas and the entire organization.

Supply and demand would have suggested that the Jets should have gotten much less than the package the Carolina Panthers presented them, but they somehow received more than expected.

Ever since the Jets secured the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Darnold was on the trading block.
