Podcast: Jets Trade Sam Darnold to Carolina

The Sam Darnold Era came to an official end yesterday. Three years after trading up for the quarterback, the Jets traded him to the Carolina Panthers for a sixth round pick this year and future second and fourth round picks.

An era that seemed to have great promise ends as a failure. Darnold did not develop during his time with New York. For their part, the Jets did everything in their power to ensure Darnold would not develop. A change is likely best for all parties here. Darnold gets a fresh start in Carolina while the Jets will get to try again by taking another quarterback high in the first round of this year’s Draft.

On today’s podcast I offer my thoughts on all of the implications of the deal. I talk about the logic behind the deal, the value the Jets got, a retrospective on Darnold’s time with the team, and more.

Thanks as always for listening.
