The Jets' 1-7 record has sparked widespread speculation about a fire sale, but trading away talent rarely fixes struggling teams. This breakdown examines why keeping Quinnen Williams and Jermaine Johnson makes strategic sense, while identifying three players who should be shopped: Quincy Williams, whose All-Pro form has regresse; Will McDonald, whose concerning pressure rate drop raises red flags; and potentially Breece Hall, who can't be allowed to walk for nothing. The analysis contrasts last year's deadline decisions—when Morgan Moses, Tyron Smith, Hassan Reddick, and Devonte Adams all were held and eventually left for nothing—with a smarter approach focused on selective moves rather than roster demolition. Every player has a price, but accumulating draft picks through trading down beats gutting your core.

Discover why building through the draft requires keeping existing talent, not replacing it.
