Jets consider trading edge rusher Will McDonald before deadline
Summary

As the NFL trade deadline approaches on November 10, the New York Jets face potential roster changes amid struggles this season. Analysts have identified edge rusher Will McDonald as a trade candidate, as his role has diminished following the emergence of David Bailey and new acquisitions Kingsley Enagbare and Joseph Ossai. McDonald is under contract through 2027, making him appealing for teams looking to develop a pass rusher. The Jets will have to weigh the potential draft compensation against McDonald’s remaining value to the team as they navigate their plans leading up to the deadline.
