It always ridiculous to claim that an NFL team “must” trade for a player, because that’s out of their control. The other team might not want to shop the player (regardless of what rumors say). The player might not want to play for the prospective team. The list of variables goes on and on.
But we can always suggest that a team should at least do their due diligence on a potential trade candidate.
And in this case, we have an opportunity the New York Jets would be remiss not to explore.
Drama is brewing in Washington.
