Controversial Analyst Pitches Wild Jets-Justin Herbert Trade Idea
Could the New York Jets offer up their three 2027 first-round picks for Chargers QB Justin Herbert? One NFL analyst thinks so.
New York Jets' controversial analyst Nick Wright discussed the possibility of trading the team's three first-round picks in the 2027 draft for already established star quarterback Justin Herbert from the Los Angeles Chargers. The Jets, despite currently not being competitive, have acquired several young players through their draft capital over the past two seasons.
These include edge-rusher David Bailey, tight end Kenyon Sadiq, wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr., and several more. Wright suggested that if the Jets obtained Herbert, it could potentially open up their Super Bowl window. However, acquiring Herbert would require a significant trade, as the Chargers may not be willing to part with him.
If the trade were to take place, the Jets would be gaining a Pro Bowl quarterback while retaining their ability to compete in future seasons.
