Everybody had those few players that they wish were on the team they root for, even though a trade is unlikely. While the New York Jets would most likely trade for draft picks this offseason, there are some quality players that they should at least consider acquiring via trade. Some players on this list are impending free agents. They are on this list because of their talent and the fact that they may be re-signed to their teams. Here are five players that really stick out for the Jets to trade for at a relatively low price:

1. Zac Dysert, QB Denver Broncos

Going back to his days at the University of Miami (Ohio), Zac Dysert has shown immense talent. It is a wonder how he was selected in just the seventh round. Dysert went to the same college as Ben Rothlesberger and became the school’s all-time passing leader! He showed similar traits to Big Ben, as well. Dysert is big-bodied, hard to take down, elusive in the pocket, gets out of trouble, and can throw on the run. He passes with power and accuracy, but in his college years, he did not have any good receivers to throw to. If he had been on a great team, rather than a small school lacking receiving talent, Dysert would have been the frontrunner for number one pick overall. Dysert was drafted in the 2013 draft and is just 24 years old. He has been learning from one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, in Peyton Manning. When Manning retires, Brock Osweiler will likely become the starter, as Dysert is presently the third string quarterback. Because of his position on the depth chart, he may be a buy-low trade candidate for the Jets, who are in need of a franchise quarterback. Dysert is a skilled player who could make the most of the Jets’ weak offensive line.

2. Aldon Smith, OLB San Francisco 49ers

Before all of the legal trouble, Aldon Smith was the one of the best pass rushers in the NFL. He had fourteen sacks in his rookie season. Rather having a sophomore slump, he actually drastically improved in his second year, notching 19.5 sacks. After that, many thought he would go on to become an all-time great. Several incidents including injuries, but mostly arrests, have kept this star off the field. In his limited playing time during the last two seasons, he had minimal impact due to his unpreparedness and lack of chemistry with players. A change of scenery would be best for Smith, and the Jets could surely use an elite pass rushing outside linebacker. Across the country, away from his present problems, hopefully he could stay out of trouble. If he can, it would be well worth a trade of any kind to get him. Due to his legal troubles, he should be more of a buy-low option.

3. Antoine Cason, CB Baltimore Ravens

Antoine Cason struggles in coverage, for sure, but has avoided the injury bug since 2008, when he entered the league. Cason has never had more than four interceptions in one season, but has had two in each of his six other seasons. He even has experience under Jets’ Head Coach Todd Bowles, as Cason played for the Arizona Cardinals in 2013 while Bowles was the Defensive Coordinator. Cason is also very good at forcing fumbles, as he did so four times last season. He has knocked the ball out eight times in his seven-year career so far. The Jets would love to have a cornerback who can knock the ball lose, as most cant due to their smaller size. The 6’1” 195 lbs corner who runs an official 4.45 40-yard dash has the size to cover any receiver and strip any ball carrier. The Ravens only picked him up off waivers due to their slew of injuries to their secondary. Due to this, he is easily a buy-low, low-risk, medium-reward player the Jets should seriously consider trading for. Cason will be a free agent this offseason, but if the Ravens decide to re-sign him, I see no reason for the Jets to not make an offer. If he does hit free agency, they should take him with the money left over from their blockbuster signings.

4. Mike Adams, S Indianapolis Colts

Adams is another talented player who will hit free agency if not re-signed. Due to his highly productive 2014 season, there is reason to believe he will be re-signed despite his old age of 33. Adams had five interceptions last season, forced two fumbles, and made a career-high 77 tackles. In all of the 2014 season, the Jets had just six interceptions. Because he has 11 years of experience under his belt, he can be a player-coach for the Jets if they acquire him. Plus, he would help the Jets get their occasional takeaway that they so desperately needed last season. Adams could be an excellent mentor to the Jets’ young safeties like Calvin Pryor, Antonio Allen, Jaiquawn Jarrett, and Rontez Miles. Ed Reed, while he played a different position, helped mentor Dee Milliner in the final few weeks of the 2013 season, resulting in Milliner getting three interceptions in a span of three games to end the season. While Mike Adams is no Ed Reed, by any stretch of the imagination, having a teammate who is also your mentor really helps the development of a player.

5. Kenny Stills, WR New Orleans Saints

Kenny Stills is a very talented wide receiver hidden behind a great receiving corpse, and yet he still quietly managed to have an impressive season, catching 63 of his 83 targets for 931 yards and three touchdowns. Stills has good size, 6’1” 194 lbs, but what is most impressive is his speed. He ran an unofficial, unbelievable 4.28 40 yard dash at the NFL Draft Combine in 2013. His official time was 4.38, which is still super-impressive. Stills has excellent body control, as well. He is more of a deep threat option. His problem is he just isn’t tough and gets dominated against physical corners. If he can bulk up a little and become tougher, Stills can be a number one receiver in the NFL. For now, he is more of a big play specialist. He isn’t elusive or quick- he is just great at getting separation on the deep ball.

Dysert was on their practice squad for a long stretch and could have been plucked for nothing. I liked him in the draft, but there's a reason he went in the 7th and no one has picked him up since. Aldon Smith might very well get cut. He has a big cap number and has a million off-the-field issues. The Saints are going to release Marques Colston, so it's unlikely they'll give away Still on the cheap. Cason is terrible.

[win4ever]

1.  Ah No, there is a reason why he dropped that far, and we have limited picks as is in the upcoming draft.  No need to purge even more picks on a guy that doesn't offer upside anyway.  I'd rather try to fill out a roster spot or help the ST than try to bring in competition for our back up QB spot so we can debate on which loser would such less when Geno gets benched.  

 

2.  Interesting, but this kid has major off the field issues.  So if SF is going to trade him for nothing, then it indicates they know he has major issues, because they sure can use him (so can everyone else).  And if the price is high, then we take major risk.  He'd be interesting as a free agent on a prove it contract, but why not just try and go after Hardy instead with less risk?

 

3.  This guy's description states that he can't really cover, but stays healthy?  Is he related to Kyle Wilson? 

 

4.   This wouldn't be a horrible get in free agency, but too old to trade for because he's not going to be in the future plans.  It's a short term fix for a long term problem.  

 

5.   Sure I would love to have him, but why would the Saints let him go?  He's on his rookie contract and they need WRs.  May as well add OBJ and Watkins to the list then.  

 

All in all, I don't think any of these are actual possibilities.  Smith would be intriguing I think if he was let go.

I would love to have Stills on the Jets. He's shown what he's capable of in a wide open offense, but there's no way the Saints let him go though imo. The article even states it, "he's a very talented receiver, if he bulks up and becomes stronger could be a #1 receiver in this league", and at 22 years old you want a talented receiver like that hidden so when a guy like Marques Colston retires you can plug in Stills and have a Stills/Cooks tandem. That could be easily be the quickest tandem in the league. Stills isn't going anywhere unless we pay heavily for him, and there's no need to with the talent in free agency and guys like Kevin White, Devante Parker, Amari Cooper and Devin Smith coming out of the draft. 

 

Zac is a waste. There's no way that we trade for a third string QB because we're looking for a franchise QB. Zac is simply another Ryan Mallet in this equation. Zac sat behind Peyton like Ryan did Brady. If that meant anything then we need to find Curtis Painter who spent his entire career behind Peyton Manning in Indiana, and is currently a free agent because he isn't good. The legendary back up got his chance in 2011 when Manning got hurt, all the Colts did was go 2-14 and ended up drafting Luck in 2012. There's only one QB that I see is a serious candidate to be traded for and I think he's the only QB that has the potential to end this 50 year QB search and his name is Mike Glennon, however, I'll end that there in order to not once again upset Jetnation.

 

Aldon Smith...one word, beast. Do I think the 49ers will trade him after standing by him during his legal troubles? No. Would it be worth a shot? You damn right. 

 

Mike Adams: I dont know much about him, but I like my coach and if Todd Bowles feels strongly about this guy I'd go with his gut. 

 

Antoine Carson: No, not to trade for him. If he was a free agent then yes, but I'm not giving up anything to get this guy. We can get a JAG in FA or in the draft if thats the case. 

[RutgersJetFan]

How is Mike Glennon not on this list?

[Villain The Foe]

How is Mike Glennon not on this list?

No F'ing idea. 

[joewilly12]

No we have a lot of cap money with more coming after cuts and decent amount of draft picks

[dbatesman]

Dysert is big-bodied, hard to take down, elusive in the pocket, gets out of trouble

With that kind of talent, it's hard to believe he took 159 sacks in college.

[56mehl56]

Liked Dysert coming out of college, injuries prevented him from being drafted much higher. I believe he would have been better in MM's WCO offense. I don't see him as a fit in Gailey's spread. I 'd certainly give him a shot before Matt Moore or jake Locker though. 

[Savage69]

How is Mike Glennon not on this list?

If the Buc's draft Winston who is going to be their backup if not Glennon since they cut McCown?

[Jet9]

With that kind of talent, it's hard to believe he took 159 sacks in college.

Lol. Zing!

[RutgersJetFan]

If the Buc's draft Winston who is going to be their backup if not Glennon since they cut McCown?

Probs should offer them our first then.

[heymangold]

can't say i agree with any of them.

[operaguy]

Dysert would be a great trade (up to a fourth round pick I'd be willing to trade)

Better trade would be for Jared Abbrederis (Multiple picks might be necessary to get this guy)

[Paradis]

5 ways to achieve the same (if not better) results without trading....

 

 

1 - Draft Brandon Bridge.... he's 100x the prospect Dysert was. 

 

2 - Draft Shane Ray....or sign Worilds, Graham, Hughes. etc etc

 

3 - Sign Maxwell

 

4 - Sign Jimmy Wilson and let him work with Pryor and Jarrett.

 

5 - Sign Crabtree, we need to upgrade at the Z position and he'll come at relative bargain for his talent.

[Tinstar]

We should not trade for any player other than a QB who can challenge Geno Smith for the starting Job and that player should not be an aging Vet whose best day are well behind them.

 

I like Chase Daniels.

 

We need to sign a CB who can start right away

 

Cro will do.

I prefer his brother Jack 

[SenorGato]

I'm pretty jelly the Broncos have Osweiler.

[jack48]

All in all, I don't think any of these are actual possibilities.  Smith would be intriguing I think if he was let go.  

David Clowney could get deep.  He just did everything else very badly.  A corner who cannot cover?  I think we have a full complement of those.  Hey, trades cost draft picks and we do not have a full complement of those.  And Tom is right.   Dysert on the practice squad was easy pickings.  No one picked.

[slats]

I agree 100% with the bold. The Jets only have six draft picks this year -minus either a fourth or a sixth- and they really need to start rebuilding the team thru the draft. Only position where it would be worthwhile would be a starting QB. The team has enough free agent dollars to find capable veterans at other positions without also giving away precious draft picks. 

 

Jets need two CBs. I wouldn't mind if Cromartie was one of them, but they need two starters. Milliner coming off the achilles, and McDougle having not played a meaningful snap in two years and coming off an ACL...  Can't rely on either of them for anything. It would froth up the masses, but I wouldn't be shocked to see Kyle Wilson resigned.

Please don't say that. Maybe if we don't mention his name he will go away quietly.  What I believe the Jets should do is build an attacking front 7 and play zone behind it. It's much easier to find Zone CBs that it is to find bump and run man corners.

Wrecks can have Wilson.

[drdetroit]

I can see Aldon smith becoming available. Definitely not a "Mangina Guy" and the 49er front office is in meltdown mode.

[drdetroit]

Wrecks can have Wilson.

Please Rex sign Kyle Wilson . Percy will be running circles around that clown next season

[CrazyCarl40]

Please Rex sign Kyle Wilson . Percy will be running circles around that clown next season

For what team? Highly unlikely Harvin is a Jet next season.

Let Wilson get his ankles broken playing for someone else. If the new FO has a clue they sign two starting cb in free agency and let milliner and mcdougle play nickel

[Larz]

after seeing the list of mayocks draft picks, and this list, I am going to take my expectations of this off season down to "just don't screw it up"

 

really not a single name to get excited about

Remember when he was drafted his brother used to post on JI?? That didn't last long I think the family changed their name and moved away..LOL
