Two weeks remain until the trade deadline. The NFL’s lone winless team could operate as a seller, and there is certainly interest from potential suitors. 
The Jets have received trade calls on a number of players recently. Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports (subscription required) defensive end Jermaine Johnson and running back Breece Hall are on the radar of suitors. That comes as little surprise in the latter’s case in particular. Hall has been seen as a trade candidate since before the 2025 campaign began.
While the 24-year-old wants to remain with the Jets and head coach Aaron Glenn has attempted to shoot down trade speculation multiple times, Hall will no doubt remain a target to watch on this front. No extension is forthcoming in his case, and as a pending free agent Hall could land with a contender for at least the second half of the campaign. A number of teams have been connected to running back interest in the trade market, so a bidding war of sorts could take place in this instance.
Johnson saw fellow 2022 first-rounders Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson sign monster extensions this offseason. No long-term pact is expected in his case, though, based in large part on the 26-year-old’s 2024 Achilles tear. Johnson’s fifth-year option was nevertheless picked up in the spring, meaning he is attached to a base salary of $13.41MM for next season. Any acquiring team would need to take that into account even though the Florida State product would be an inexpensive target for the closing stages of the 2025 campaign.
Confirming Hall and Johnson are receiving notable interest, CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones reports the Jets are indeed a team to watch closely over the coming days. One source informed him, however, that New York has been “stubborn” in terms of the asking price on coveted players to date. There is of course plenty of time for that to change, and movement elsewhere on the trade front could lead to an increase in efforts to swing a deal with the Jets before the deadline.
One player who could be on the move relatively soon, by contrast, is Allen Lazard. Per Jones, New York “wouldn’t mind” moving on from the veteran. Lazard – who was seen as a trade or release candidate this offseason before accepting a pay cut to stay in place – has made just six catches in five games. A large return via trade should not be expected as a result, but the Steelers are known to still be on the lookout for a wideout addition. Dealing Lazard to Pittsburgh would allow him to (once again) reunite with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
2025 marks the first season of the Jets’ new regime. Glenn and rookie general manager Darren Mougey will have a number of key decisions to make over the next two weeks, and their actions over that span will be worth monitoring.
