TRADE dept. : WORST Trade for every NFL team... the WORST trade for the jets ? ? ?

Although not a trade or blown draft pick but the early 2000's bothered me. 

To lose and let Kareem McKenzie walk as a FA was a criminal act only for him to then win two SB rings with our resident neighbors from 2005-2011. Imagine us with him during our 2009-2010 run(s). 

Also early 2000's (03') to lost both of Laveranues Coles and Randy Thomas to the "Jetskins" (Morton/Hall) felt criminal only to then have to trade away our electric Santana Moss in a trade for Coles in return? 

I absolutely hated those Front Office moves surrounding Chad Pennington and Curtis Martin. And Curtis Conway (2003) was an epic drop of the ball. 

And to save the worst for last of the early 2000's it bothered me knowing how drafted James Farrior 8th overall of the 199 draft only to see him instantly become a Steelers household name and Pittsburgh legendary LB throughout 2002-2011. 

Imagine having James Farrior amd Kareem McKenzie during 2009 we would've beaten that Indianapolis Colts team up and spit then out with physicality.

While Sanchez did work out for us, the facts are that we didn't trade all that (to move up) much for him.  So this hardly falls under the worst trades ever banner.   

I would definitely  say he didn’t worked out for us. We had the number 1 D in nfl, one of best OL, good recieving corps, only thing holding us back was piss poor qb play.. Imagine if  we signed a jag to equal his play and use that number 6 pick on say a pass rushing stud, ect.

I knew somebody would erroneously mention this.  Mark didn't pan out.  But the Jets gave up basically nothing to move up to #5, and it was well worth the attempt to acquire a franchise QB.

What nothing did we give up to move from 18? to 6th? We basically threw away a prime 1st and whatever picks we have to move up, for a raw rookie qb  Who needed to be carried by a very win now team. So yes factor in we could have signed ANYONE to play Better and just ride the best D, rushing team in nfl and use those picks on supplemented immediate impact players.

They moved up 12 spots from #17 to #5 by giving up a late 2nd round pick and three useless players.

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.  Doesn't the fact that nobody agrees with you drop a hint that something is amiss?

I agree, your point is truly dumb. Sanchez was a swing and a miss in 2009. Put together a few good years and fizzled out. They gave up nothing to get him and were universally praised for doing so. In the grand scheme of Jets' moves, that's a rarity. 

Babe Ruth to Boston that trade was not. With such a long history of sh*t, you're going to crap all over the time we came pretty damn close to getting it right? Dumb.

Well we swung and missed. That is the point. You proved the stupidity of your post.

Vilma trade should not be in the discussion.  In addition to Jolley, here are a couple that come to mind.

- Dewayne Robertson.  Two 1s and a 4.  For Robertson. Vilma is not even if the same stratosphere as this one.

- Lam Jones.  Two 1s for a track star who could not run routes and had bad handls.

- 1997 trading back out of 1 overall and taking James Farrior.  Nice player (for Pittsburgh), but we traded back from 1 to 6 and again to 8.  And all we added were some 3s and 4s.   HOFer Orlando Pace went 1.  HOFer Walter Jones went 6. We ended up with Farrior, Terry Day, Dedric Ward and Leon Johnson.

Say what you want about the genius of Parcells, but the man flat out STUNK at drafting.

To roll the dice on a franchise QB that was a deal I’d make 100x over. There is literally zero reason to be upset with that trade.

Lol aw another mark Sanchez fan boy ? we were a “win now “ team with a short window. That was reality. Most fans live in “ fantasy” I agree any other years besides 09/10 you roll the dice on a franchise qb. Since we have had very few “ win now “ teams.

The trade up for Sanchez was one of the best trades of all time, the player himself sucked but what we gave up to move up to 5 was brilliant.

2-8 that year were busts

 

Jason Smith

Tyson Jackson

Aaron Curry

Mark Sanchez

Andre Smith

Heyward Bey

Eugene Monroe

 

Cleveland actually made out trading back twice and ending up with Alex Mack.

Much worse than O'Brien over Marino or any other poor draft decision because we had Riggins for 4 seasons and knew how good he was!

Man was he good for us. To this day my favorite memory as a Jets fan was watching Riggins turn upfield. For most of his career in washington, he was already a larry czonka fullback type; with us, he was young and fast and could turn the corner too.

I was so pissed when we lost him, other than Namath, he was a favorite of mine.  

BTW, I remember the real Rosco Word!! He was a CB for us and, briefly, a bit of a phenom.

Could care less about Sanchez, you roll the dice on a QB for what we gave up. Who would have been our QB? I hate Josh Allen but if we were sitting at #17 and we were offered that trade to take him at #5 then I do it all day.

This class of 4 were all far superior than mark sanchez. He played 1 yr ? With a Allstar cast? I know our level for success was very bad. But that was our window, for a win. Now qb. Not a franchise qb Who may turn out to be a turd. Which he did

We gave up an extra second rounder and a xoupke filler players who mangini liked.

Dewayne was in a draft class which was abnormally stacked with dt’s too. Just to add to it.

The parcels opening draft trade back for chump change was the worst. He could have gotten a lifetimes ransom but nope. Derrick ward
