JetNation Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 By Glenn Naughton While the Jets’ shopping of defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson is one of the worst kept secrets in the NFL, the lack of apparent suitors as come as somewhat of a surprise as reports of teams expressing interest have been almost non-existent. At least until now. Aaron Leming of Bear Report had this to say via twitter earlier today: #Bears have checked in w/ the #Jets more than once on Wilkerson. So have a few teams. This won't be a quick trade. Revolves around draft day — Aaron Leming (@AaronLemingNFL) April 2, 2016 Re: Wilkerson.It's very possible that a flip of 11 for 20 could be a starting point in trade talks. #Bears might need slight cap relief, too — Aaron Leming (@AaronLemingNFL) April 2, 2016 For those unfamiliar with Leming, he was responsible for breaking the Brandon Marshall trade to the Jets from Chicago last season, and now he’s chiming in again, saying the two teams have spoken several times in regards to a possible deal that could send Wilkerson to the Windy City. As Leming mentioned in his tweets above, the Bears currently hold the 11th pick in the draft with the Jets sitting at 20. A swap of first round picks would likely be the starting point in negotiations. Click here to read the full story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage69 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 We got Thomas Jones swapping 2nd rd picks with the Bears in 2007.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 We'd want to be getting a lot more than that. It would make sense if we're incredibly high on Lynch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot Killa Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 They have to cough up atleast a 3rd along with that 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Wait so we are trading Mo Wilk to the Bears to move down 9 spots in the draft. No way can Macc be that dumb. I figured maybe they were throwing in Jay Cutler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorGato Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Right now I would guess Shaq Lawson is the most likely guy to be targeted by the Jets in round one that isn't a QB. Unfortunately this draft sucks balls and I have serious doubts he makes it to 20. 11 is about the point sh*t starts getting real with him it seems (if not before that), so.....maybe? It'd better take alot more than swapping firsts THO to gift them Wilkerson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want #11 overall and a 4th just like we got for Revis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 They better be throwing in some rub n' tugs and Kevin White or Kyle Fuller with that. 20 to 11 for Wilk? Kindly leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32EBoozer Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 On trade value chart a trade with the Browns gets us to 1250 pts. Throw in our 2nd and we can move ahead of SF and get Goff if they want. I wouldn't do it though..... Lynch at #11 is a reach but I guess as long as you stay ahead of LA. Maybe trade Mo to Raiders and jump ahead of Rams to take Lynch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First_Blood Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I am a noob here, but I will post this anyway. Muhammad Wilkerson is not JJ Watt. But, he is easily a top 3 if not top 5 defensive end in this league right now. The Jets are idiots for not resigning him. He's been nothing but class his time here... A true leader for this defense. He never held out like Mevis. It just disgusts me that people are complaining about overpaying to resign Mo, but Revis is the highest paid player on the team AND HE IS 30. 30. Wilkerson is 27, and is maybe behind Watt and maybe another player or 2. The guy is a top 5 defensive end in football and the Jets cannot afford to resign him. Resigning Revis to that magnitude of a contract is hurting us. Along with Skrine, Harris, and Gilchrist deals. I know I am not a seasoned poster on here but still. It was wrong giving Revis that contract in the first place, because he was not the same damn Revis we had 4 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving that kind of money to a player that is regressing seems like a PR kind of move to me. Wilkerson is still young, and is an elite talent at his position.

Yeah Sheldon, one suspension away from being booted for a year out of football. Revis did not look like a top 5 corner for us this year. Same old Jets. Wilkerson has been nothing but class, but they will not reward him with a fair market level deal but they sign a mercenary like Revis to an albatross of a contract.

Greenseed4 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Ronnie Stanley is a good target for the #11 spot. Getting a plug-and-play LT enables us to move on from Brick in the same breath; immediately clearing up $25M between the two players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revis couldn't keep up with good young receivers like Hopkins. And in a few games he was spun around like a top. He played too much off of receivers and doesn't have the coverage skills or on the field presence he used to have. Remember when Brandon Marshall was on Miami and Revis physically and mentally abused him. But he still has great leadership ability and hopefully can return to form after an off year for him. He isn't close to being the shut down corner he used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
