Jets trade rumor from FOX Sports casts doubt on potential deadline fire sale

With the New York Jets sitting at 1-7 and in the midst of a rebuild, the expectation is the team will be busy selling players ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline.

The Jets have already made one trade, sending cornerback Michael Carter to the Philadelphia Eagles for wide receiver John Metchie and a pick swap.

But will there be more moves made by the Jets in the coming days?

According to FOX Sports' Ralph Vacchiano, the Jets have been declining trade offers sent from other teams or have been setting an asking price that is too high.

According to multiple sources, the Jets have fielded many calls from teams interested in dealing, but other than trading cornerback Michael Carter II to the Philadelphia Eagles on Wednesday, New York has either rebuffed the advances or set asking prices way too high so far. 

At this rate, a fire sale seems unlikely given what Vacchiano is reporting. However, it's also possible the Jets will come down on their demands the closer we get to the deadline on Tuesday.

Vacchiano notes that the Jets receiving the most interest are edge rusher Jermaine Johnson, running back Breece Hall and linebacker Quincy Williams. Defensive lineman Quinnen Williams is also drawing interest.

We could definitely see the Jets holding on to Quinnen Williams and Johnson, seeing as how both are still under contract beyond this season and are young enough to be included in New York's long-term plans.

But both could also net the biggest returns. Williams is an elite interior defender and Johnson is a promising young player at a premium position.

Quincy Williams and Hall are both in the final year of their contracts, so they're more likely to be dealt.

The Jets simply cannot extend Hall given all of their needs up and down the roster, so they should move him before he potentially leaves in free agency for nothing next season.

For the right price, everyone should be on the table for a trade in New York.
