The Jets held an unexpected fire sale ahead of Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline. They shipped off two of the most talented players on the roster, Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams, in order to build up a stockpile of high draft picks. But New York didn’t trade everybody with value.
After the Gardner and Williams trades there was a widely-held expectation that running back Breece Hall would be the next to go. Hall had been involved in trade rumors leading up to the deadline and given his combination of talent and impending free agency seemed all but certain to be moved. Yet when the 4 p.m. deadline came and went, Hall was still a Jet.
