Jets Make Trade Offer for Housh
By Steiny on 04. Sep, 2010
Yesterday, it was speculated that the Jets might be interested in Seahawks WR TJ Houshmandzadeh. Well, now that speculation has turned into reality as The Cincinnati Enquirer’s Joe Reedy is reporting the Jets have made a trade offer for Houshmandzadeh. This according to a league source.
Per a league source, the Vikings, Jets, Chargers and Cardinals have made trade offers with the Seahawks for Houshmandzadeh.
As I said yesterday, this isn’t good news for David Clowney who has appeared to make the roster for now. Personally, I would prefer the Jets to pick up Laveranues Coles. Laveranues clearly knows the offense better, and has better chemistry with the guys in the locker room. Rex told Laveranues he expects him to be one of the leaders of this team. I find it hard to believe Houshmandzadeh can provide that type of leadership. As for what the Jets are offering, I my guess would be a late round draft pick. The Jets gave up a 5th round pick for Santonio Holmes, so I would expect a 6th or 7th round pick at best.
Stay tuned as this story develops..
