How was your weekend?
Mike Maccagnan spent his at the equivalent of a swap meet. The Jets’ general manager was on the phone nonstop, trying to trade one quarter after another for two dimes in the hope that one of the dimes was secretly laden with gold.
Maccagnan made a franchise-record five trades after Round 2 concluded Saturday night. Four were to move back in the draft, and in the other, he dealt a sixth-rounder to Dallas for its 2018 fifth-round pick. By midday Sunday, I was thinking that Maccagnan wouldn’t be satisfied until he possessed the last five selections in the seventh round.
