NFL Trade Verdict

Even Trade

The Jets traded 38-year-old Don Maynard to St. Louis for a 1974 eleventh-round pick. Maynard caught one pass for the Cardinals, and the pick did not become meaningful Jets value. The cleanest verdict is Even Trade.

Trade Analysis

The Jets moved an all-time franchise figure for almost no return, but Maynard was at the end of his career and St. Louis gained only ceremonial value. Since neither side produced durable football value, this stays even.
