The Jets and Giants stand pat as the NFL trade deadline passes

The Jets aren’t making the playoffs. That’s a certainty. They are 2-7 after losing 35-12 to the Kansas City Chiefs on the road last Sunday. The Jets are only one game ahead of the 1-7 Miami Dolphins for last place in the AFC East division and six games behind the 7-1 Buffalo Bills – who they host this Sunday at MetLife Stadium – in the loss column. Conversely, the 5-2-1 Giants are in first place in the NFC East. They sit above the 4-5 second place Dallas Cowboys and are at home tonight at MetLife to play the 2-5-1 Washington Commanders. Logically, before this past Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline, the Giants would endeavor to enhance their roster, addressing areas that need to be reinforced and the Jets would perhaps look toward the future by acquiring draft picks for some of their more desirable assets. But neither team executed a major trade.
