GM of the Ex Jets suggests trading for a Cowboys receiver.
Despite the trade of multi-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers last offseason, the New York Jets still need to win a Super Bowl to break their 55-year drought. While there is obviously a need for improvement up top on the offensive line, receiver seems to be another area where they could improve. Former general manager of the Jets and current ESPN analyst Mike Tannenbaum is suggesting a trade for Dallas Cowboys’ Brandin Cooks.
In an attempt to break their 55-year Super Bowl drought, the New York Jets are looking to strengthen their receiver position this offseason. Former general manager and current ESPN analyst Mike Tannenbaum has suggested a trade for Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks. The Jets acquired multi-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers last offseason, but they still have work to do to turn around their offensive line.
In a recent appearance on ESPN’s “Get Up,” Tannenbaum hatched a clever trade theory in which the Jets would get inside linebacker C.J. Mosley in return for veteran receiver Brandin Cooks from the Dallas Cowboys.
Tannenbaum stated, “This really works well for both teams.” “Look, with Aaron Rodgers returning, the Jets need speed outside of Garrett Wilson.” Their front seven is well-rounded. The Cowboys are in dire need of a middle linebacker with both size and speed.Both teams will benefit greatly from this.
Mosley, who is 31 years old, is still able to contribute to the Jets’ defense at the second level. He has 151 tackles, including five for a loss, a half sack, two forced fumbles, and one interception. In addition to his impressive stat line, Pro Football Focus ranked Mosley as the sixth best linebacker in the league. Despite the fact that Mosley is entering the last year of a five-year, $85 million contract, giving him up for Cooks, who is likewise on an expiring contract, could be considered a disappointing trade.
