Jets Trade Deadline: 3 Possible Realistic Additions

Writer James Gruter highlights three defensive targets the 2-6 New York Jets could realistically acquire ahead of the NFL trade deadline. Despite the team's struggling record under General Manager Darren Mougey, Gruter argues that targeting defensive upgrades makes sense because that unit has been the primary cause of recent defeats, whereas the offense has performed well overall.

The three suggested trade targets are Arizona Cardinals slot cornerback Garrett Williams, Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Jihaad Campbell, and Los Angeles Chargers edge rusher Tuli Tuipulotu. Gruter notes that while acquiring Tuipulotu would be the most ambitious move, the Jets are ultimately more likely to remain inactive or sell players ahead of the 2027 draft.
