Sam Darnold Traded from Jets to Panthers
A New Era for the Jets and Darnold
The Trade Details
In a move that many saw coming, the New York Jets have traded quarterback Sam Darnold to the Carolina Panthers. The deal includes the Jets receiving a sixth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft as compensation.
The Winners and Losers
The trade is seen as a win-win for both teams. The Jets get rid of a quarterback who was inconsistent and turnover-prone, while the Panthers get a young quarterback with potential who could be their franchise quarterback for years to come.
The Future for Darnold and the Jets
Darnold will now have a chance to start fresh with the Panthers and prove that he can be a successful NFL quarterback. The Jets, meanwhile, will look to find a new quarterback in the upcoming NFL Draft.
The Impact on the NFL Draft
With Darnold now off the Jets' roster, it is likely that they will select a quarterback with their No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. The Panthers, meanwhile, could use their No. 8 overall pick to select a wide receiver or offensive tackle.
