Jets trade Sam Darnold to Panthers for NFL Draft picks
NY Post
Three years after drafting him as a franchise savior, the Jets shipped quarterback Sam Darnold to the Panthers in a trade that clears the way for the team to draft his replacement in three weeks.
The Jets agreed to a trade with Carolina on Monday for Darnold in exchange for three draft picks — a sixth-round pick this year and second-round and fourth-round picks in 2022. The trade ends months of speculation about what the Jets might do with Darnold, the player they drafted No. 3 overall in 2018. It closes the book on Darnold, another swing and a miss by a franchise that has been searching for an answer at quarterback since Joe Namath left 45 years ago.You are the face of Major League Baseball, the $700 Million Man, and your close friend, your interpreter, betrays you, allegedly steals $16M from your bank account to pay off his gambling debts. An MLB investigation into The Scandal Heard ’Round the World, from here to Japan and back, thankfully absolves you. It does not cost you your reputation, or your growing legacy.
Whenever seasons like the one the Knicks just completed end, I always find myself back outside the visiting locker room at old Mile High Stadium. I always find myself standing with a handful of writers surrounding Bill Parcells maybe half an hour after the Jets lost the AFC Championship game to the Broncos.
