Jets Would Need to Add Contingency If Trading 2024 1st-Round NFL Draft Pick for QB

The idea of the New York Jets acquiring a new quarterback this season has been thrown around quite a bit but the logistics of doing so are not so simple.

The thought of New York dealing their 2024 first-round pick for a quarterback like Kirk Cousins or Jameis Winston has been floated, but as Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reported, that possibility is not so simple.

"If the Jets want to trade their 2024 first-round pick for a quarterback before the Oct. 31 trading deadline -- which seems unlikely at this point -- they would have to include a contingency in any trade because they don't have full control of the pick, according to the NFL," Cimini wrote.
