NFL Rumors: Opposing GMs Doubt Jets Would Get 1st-Round Pick in Sam Darnold Deal

A handful of NFL executives believe that the Jets might not receive a first-round pick if New York elected to trade former No. 3 overall pick Sam Darnold this offseason, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Per ESPN, hypothetically, if the Jets finished with the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL draft and decided they wanted to deal their former 2018 first-round pick, the NFL executives surveyed believe New York would get compensation similar to what the Cardinals did when they traded former first-round pick Josh Rosen after the 2018 NFL season. Ahead of the 2019 season, Arizona dealt Rosen to the Dolphins for a second- and fifth-round pick.
