New York Jets could have trade down in place with the Philadelphia Eagles (Rumor)

According to Rich Cimini of ESPN, there is an unconfirmed rumor that the New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles have a draft-day deal in place. If all four of the top tackles are off the board at 11, Douglas would send the pick to the Eagles, in return the Eagles would send the Jets 21, Rasul Douglas, and another draft pick.

This is an interesting rumor that makes little sense for the Jets. They wouldn’t be getting the appropriate value for 11 and Rasul Douglas isn’t a starting cornerback. Douglas has never started more than seven games in a season and has struggled mightily when given playing time.
