Darren Mougey made some masterful moves at the trade deadline. He took big swings like the Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams trades. He identified undervalued assets by swapping the disappointing Michael Carter II for John Metchie III.
With earlier moves like Harrison Phillips, Jowon Briggs, and Jarvis Brownlee also on his ledger, navigating the trade market has been one of the early success stories for Mougey as the Jets' head decision maker.
Even some of the moves he didn't make, like not giving away Breece Hall for less than he's worth, look smart. But there's one glaring exception to his otherwise glowing trade record, and a brutal showing in Week 15 just brought it back to the forefront.
