Adam Schefter is reporting that the New York Jets have traded Kerry Rhodes to the Arizona Cardinals.
Filed to ESPN: Arizona trades a fourth-round pick this year and a seventh next year for Jets S Kerry Rhodes.
The draft picks tell us two things:
- Rex Ryan really wanted Kerry Rhodes out of here
- Rex Ryan really wanted Kerry Rhodes out of here
It was believed that Kerry’s trade value was higher. Since the Jets pulled the trigger on that trade so far before the draft, it really does show they wanted to move in another direction. Rhodes became a fan favorite early in his career with his athleticism. He has been criticized for missed tackles and play that lacked inspiration of late.
Was Kerry’s off the field interests the reason he was traded? Tell us what you think in the Jet Nation forum.
