Larz Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 linky The New York Jets have been one of the driving forces in the league in recent years. Guided by head coach Rex Ryan and general manager Mike Tannenbaum, Gang Green has ruffled more feathers than just about any other team in the league. They are constantly searching for superstar talent to help them achieve their Super Bowl Championship goal. They have shown that they are willing to go to any extreme to win by signing aging veterans and trading for troubled superstars. Whenever transactions resume in the NFL, we all expect the Jets to make more noise on the free agent and trade markets. We know they are eying more troubled veterans—and they are plenty of them this offseason. As we impatiently wait for the lockout to be lifted, it goes us thinking—which are the best trades in New York Jets history? How did the Jets acquire some of their superstars throughout years? Where do recent superstars Mark Sanchez, Santonio Holmes, Antonio Cromartie and Braylon Edwards rank among the previous Jets superstar trade acquisitions? We’re going to take a look at which players and draft selections the Jets gave up and received in each trade and the impact it had on the franchise. Here are the 20 best trades in New York Jets history. it's a slideshow, so enjoy !!! #1 shocked the pants off of me, and would make a great trivia question in a bar to win $20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Its' funny how #17 says the Jets "unjustly" let Leon Washington go after an injury, and #20 talks about how they didn't want to pay for his services after a fibula injury. Good list though... always fun/tormenting to revisit old trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LWC611 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 That was a good read. I would not have put Farve on the list but all in all a good read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 That was a good read. I would not have put Farve on the list but all in all a good read. Yeah, it can be argued either way... but the Favre season did leave the franchise hungrier than I've ever seen them before, and led to the current state of the team. In all, it was the right thing to do at the time, so the trade's value increase based on the overall impact its had on the franchise... the pick we gave up for one year of an old man wasn't great value though, but still better than some of the others listed. Heh. I like that some of the best trades in the history of the franchise all happened in the past 5 years or so... trader Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
