New York Jets general manager Darren Mougey is working the phones ahead of next week's NFL trade deadline, but the first-year executive has already been active in the trade market this year.
Mougey acquired a pair of defensive tackles in Harrison Phillips and Jowon Briggs shortly prior to the start of the 2025 season, and both trades have proved to be worthy gambles to this point. But his best trade so far might be the one he made a little over a month later.
The Jets acquired Jarvis Brownlee from the Tennessee Titans about a month ago, swapping 2026 sixth- and seventh-round picks for a promising young, starting-caliber cornerback with nearly three years of cheap team control left on his contract.
