Joe Douglas has once again squeezed value out of a trade involving one of his predecessor’s picks.
The Jets are trading LB Blake Cashman to the Texans, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. New York will receive a sixth-round pick in 2023.
It’s a bit surprising that Houston would part with draft capital for Cashman, as he has played in just 14 games since ex-Jets GM Mike Maccagnan spent a fifth-round pick on him in 2019. The 25-year-old Minnesota product showed some potential as a rookie, but the oft-injured Cashman has played in just 14 career games.
Cashman made seven starts with the Jets and has 49 tackles, three TFLs and half a sack for his career. He played in just three games in 2021.
