New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas says that the team wouldn't have traded quarterback Sam Darnold to the Carolina Panthers if they had a lower draft pick.
The Jets went back and forth on what to do with quarterback Sam Darnold. They discussed every possible scenario, including holding onto him and still drafting a quarterback with the No.2 pick.
But general manager Joe Douglas ultimately decided the best move would be to deal Darnold and start fresh. The Jets did that on Monday, sending Darnold to Carolina for a sixth-round pick this year and second- and fourth-round choices next year.
