After rejecting many trade offers, the young player could be lost by the Jets.

Throughout the 2023 season, the New York Jets turned down several trade proposals for defensive tackle Bryce Huff.

At the NFL Combine, Eric Allen, a writer covering the Jets, was informed of the news by NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero.

Because Joe Douglas received calls about Bryce Huff returning to camp the year before he produced, there will be a significant market for him [Huff]. Then then, Bryce Huff was being pursued by others at the trade deadline. Pelissero acknowledged, “There was a moment, probably early in training camp, when I thought maybe Bryce Huff was getting traded just because there was so much interest.”

Huff and the Jets might have signed a long-term contract agreement during the season or even in the offseason. But Rosenblatt informed me on “The Boy Green Show” that Douglas made the decision to not extend any contracts midway through the season.

It made sense to turn down trade offers for a great pass rusher during training camp. Aaron Rodgers was the quarterback for a squad that was hoping to win the title right now. The Jets, on the other hand, were a.500 team with little realistic chance of contending for a postseason run at the trade deadline.

Having given up on Huff in the middle of the season, the Jets had the option to trade him for a sure thing, even though he was only a rental. Rather, they decided to hold onto him.

Now New York is set to lose him for nothing. The only silver lining is a potential compensatory pick in 2025. However, that isn’t a lock to happen because the Jets’ spending in free agency might outweigh the money Huff receives from a new team.
