NY Jets, Steve McLendon (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)
The NY Jets apparently knew that Steve McLendon would be traded before Sunday’s game.
The NY Jets recently traded away team captain and their longest-tenured player, Steve McLendon, in a move that saw the veteran nose tackle pack his bags and head south to Tampa Bay to join the Buccaneers.
Except, it seems as though he already had his bags packed before he took the field for one last time with the Jets on Sunday.
McLendon spoke to Buccaneers’ reporters soon after arriving in Tampa Bay and he mentioned that he was made aware of the trade on Saturday night, mere hours before the winless Jets took on the Miami Dolphins this past Sunday.
