Jets QB Trade Pitch Replaces Jordan Travis After Retirement
New York Jets QB Jordan Travis surprisingly retired from the NFL due to complications from his leg injury in college. That has left the team scrambling for answers to fill the QB3 void.
On “Boy Green Meets Wudi”, Jet Nation analyst James Wudi floated out a potential trade option for the team to consider.
“Kyle Allen, who was actually Justin Fields’ teammate in Pittsburgh [last season]. He trains in the offseason with guys who have been known to improve over the years, like Sam Darnold and Josh Allen. The familiarity with Fields is cool for me, and he is a solid football player. Is he going to be a franchise guy? No, I don’t think he is, but this is somebody who can be better under the tutelage of ‘elite’ offensive mind Tanner Engstrand, if that is something you believe if you’re drinking that Kool-Aid,” Wudi explained.
Allen signed a one-year, $1.27 million contract with the Detroit Lions in free agency this offseason. The Jets would have to trade with the Lions to acquire Allen.
“That’s the scenario the Jets are in. You can’t pick up these types of players off the street because anyone who is a young QB who could become better is signed somewhere,” Wudi added.
