NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Imagine being Jermaine Kearse right now.
The veteran wide receiver was all set to be a contributor for the powerhouse Seattle Seahawks this season, but now he’s reportedly headed to the Jets, perhaps the worst team in the NFL.
The Jets took another step toward the No. 1 pick in the 2018 draft on Friday, trading stud defensive end Sheldon Richardson to Seattle for Kearse and a second-round pick. The teams will also swap seventh-round picks in next year’s draft.
According to the Seahawks’ depth chart, Kearse was set to start opposite Doug Baldwin.
