Jets Look to Trade Kellen Clemens

by John B on Apr 21, 2010 10:38 PM EDT

With only two days until the draft, the Jets are trying to trade Clemens for a late-round draft pick, league sources have told ESPNNewYork.com. If they can't trade him -- and it will be difficult -- the Jets are prepared to release the former second-round pick.

With Mike Holmgren calling the shots instead of Eric Mangini now in Cleveland, it seems like a long shot the Jets will find any takers. If a team wants to use a late round pick on a quarterback, it might as well select a rookie with potential instead of a proven non entity.

If the Jets can find a taker, that extra pick could be currency to help a trade up.

What do i not understand

if they are going to release him, wouldn’t they have been better off not tendering him, letting him be a UFA and if anyone signed him they’d have a few extra bucks to sign another player?

Plus almost any UFA we could have signed would have been better then someone we get with a late round pick.

Unless of course the Jets actually see something in Clemens and don’t want him playing in the AFC East, but if they saw anything in him they wouldn’t be trading him.
