The New York Jets are off to a rough start this season. Sitting at 0-7 and possibly headed for 0-8, it looks like the team is preparing to make some big decisions before the 2025 NFL trade deadline. A sell-off now seems almost certain, though no one knows exactly how many players could be on the move.
According to a report from Connor Hughes of SNYtv, several Jets players are drawing serious interest from other teams. Six names have come up in trade talks, Breece Hall, Jermaine Johnson, Will McDonald, Michael Carter II, Quinnen Williams, and Quincy Williams.
Hughes made it clear that this is not a full-scale fire sale. The Jets aren’t planning to trade players just for the sake of it or take low-ball offers. Any move they make will be for the right price and on their own terms. The front office wants fair value in return, not “pennies on the dollar.”
Running back Breece Hall is one of the most talked-about trade candidates. He’s in the final year of his contract, and several teams, like the Chargers, Texans, and Bears, are looking for help in the backfield.
Jermaine Johnson and Will McDonald could also attract strong interest as pass rushers. Both are young and talented, making them valuable assets for teams needing defensive power. Michael Carter II would be an appealing pickup for a team needing help at cornerback, and Quincy Williams could be a solid addition for anyone looking for a reliable linebacker.
What’s new in this report is the mention of Quinnen Williams. He’s been a leader on defense and one of the Jets’ best players. If he’s truly on the trade radar, it would be a major move. It’s unclear if the new coaching staff sees him as part of the long-term plan, but if not, a deal could happen before the deadline.
Still, any trade involving Williams or the other top names would only happen if the Jets get a strong offer in return. The team may be struggling this season, but they’re not desperate enough to give away their best talent for cheap.
As the trade deadline gets closer, these six names, Hall, Johnson, McDonald, Carter, Quinnen Williams, and Quincy Williams, are the ones to watch. Other teams are calling, and the Jets are listening, but only the right offer will make them pull the trigger.
