good point. Maybe you wait until after 2 preseason games to shop him after he looks recovered. A team half way through the preseason, and after the draft, may get over excited about a potential perfect fit for their gigantic hole at #1 CB and you fleece them...like the Browns did Cleveland in the Richardson deal...
I'd deal him for a conditional third, that either escalates to a second or into another third based on games played. Another team has at least some protection if he never gets healthy, and the Jets are getting more back if he does.

Well said, my sentiments exactly

But if you're gonna do something like that, as Supe pointed out, its better to wait until he's healthy and hopefully flashes in the preseason or even into the regular season, at which point his value will be significantly higher than where it is now, which is about as low as it can get. If we're talking about picks in next years draft, and thats what conditional picks entails, then we might as well wait until he's healthy and SELL HIGH, as opposed to selling now and SELLING LOW.
In the meantime we still have him around in the event of another cascade of injuries at CB like last year.

That's where I'd consider as well. And a high or mid 2nd, not low.
True, you are selling low. Rock bottom low.
Problem is, even if he is healthy, will he have the opportunity to show it to other teams? Right now, he's probably the Jets' fourth best CB, if 100%. And how much trade value does he have if he's healthy, but unable to crack the lineup?
That's why in ham's scenario i said after the 2nd preseason game. he should have about 4 quarters of new film available to teams at that point.
I can certainly live with that scenario, assuming Milliner does not shatter into a million pieces in the first two August games.
But if he can be a part of a larger deal, you have to consider doing it, too.
In my scenario one of the many teams with CB holes finally see after 2 presesaon games, the hole on paper is even bigger on the field. They may feel they could scheme around it, but after off season practices and 2 preseason games, they realize scheme aint fixing it...our talent is too low, and then they come calling. Again, a team that feels they're a CB away from being in the play-off hunt, think 9ers, Eagles, Panthers, ATL, Skins, Saints, Dallas, etc. They also may expect a low 2nd based on season's expectations. You know?
Exactly SE, thats why I said if I'm gonna make a deal for him in THIS DRAFT, it has to be for something I really want like using Milliner and a pick to trade up for a prospect I love, otherwise it makes more sense to wait, because right now we're not getting anything of value for Milliner in a straight swap of Milliner for a pick.
If I can't use Milliner as a chip to move up in this draft for a prospect I love, then this is the best alternative in my view.
What if a certain team was willing to part with a QB they recently acquired, and had their eye on a QB in the draft, and believed they could move up in the draft and solve a CB issue with one move? Could Milliner and the #6 pick be assets to a larger trade to bring someone...like...that...to the NYJ? It would obviously be a much bigger deal, but right now, with both front offices aggressively wheeling and dealing, I'm not ruling out anything.
If we could get a 2nd round pick I would do it now and we could draft a true, healthy CB now.
#6 and Milliner for Bradford and #20 ...I need a 2nd this year and a 4th next year also I think...maybe we throw in a pick or 2 some place to make them feel whole, but Bradford is worth a 2nd and 5th right now as they stand based on what they gave up...so #20 and Bradford is = to a 1st, 2nd, and a 5th...throw in a 2nd and 5th and ill include Milliner and the deal is done. if we need to send a 7 this year and a 5th rd pick next year, do it.
Final deal: #20 , #52 , a 4th next year, and Bradford for #6 and Milliner (maybe a 7th and 5th thrown in)
We'd have picks 20, 38, and 52 in the first 2 rds of the draft and Bradford... Do it. One of those picks likely a CB.
Eagles makes sense because they love to trade for injured players.
I could absolutely live with that deal. Would Philly do it? Question is, would it be enough for Kelly to get Mariota? He might still need to deal up from there, but it would put him in much better shape.
Of course, the front office would have to find a way to restructure deals, maybe cut a guy or two, to free up the cap space for Bradford.
How bout a swap of recent first round picks who both are at their lowest point from a value POV
Milliner for Manziel
If Manziel ever gets his head out of his ass and gets serious about football, the kid has talent.

I'd have serious worries about Johnny Manziel living near New York City. The temptations are all there.
I wouldn't want the Jets to trade him. He showed his true abilities in his first year in that last month of play. He started out the season very strong but got injured after one game I believe. I believe it would be very stupid for the Jets to trade him. He can be that replacement for Cro in 2-3 years and learn from Revis and Cro on how to be that shut-down CB. He and Skrime will be fighting it out for the slot CB position and that will be great. Ain't nothing like having depth and we have that now in which we had nothing just last year. We are so strong at the position that they can let him sit for 8 games or a year if need be and when he is 100%, lets see what he has.
