The Jets traded pick No. 171 to Philadelphia for Nos. 185 and 190, then selected Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis. Travis spent his rookie year rehabilitating a serious leg injury and retired in April 2025 after medical consultations, never appearing in an NFL game. The outcome is unfortunate rather than a scouting indictment, but New York received no on-field return from the selection acquired in the trade.
New York Jets Received
- pick 2024 fifth-round pick (No. 171, Jordan Travis )
Philadelphia Eagles Received
- pick 2024 sixth-round pick (No. 185, Johnny Wilson )
- pick 2024 sixth-round pick (No. 190, Dylan McMahon )
Trade Analysis
The Exchange
On April 27, 2024, the Jets sent Philadelphia pick No. 171 in exchange for picks No. 185 and No. 190. New York used No. 171 on Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis. Philadelphia ultimately selected Florida State receiver Johnny Wilson at No. 185 and North Carolina State center Dylan McMahon at No. 190 after its broader series of draft-day moves.
New York Jets Return
Travis entered the league while recovering from the severe leg injury that ended his college career. He spent the 2024 season rehabilitating and never appeared in a game for the Jets. In April 2025, after consultation with medical experts, Travis announced his retirement. The circumstances deserve sympathy, but a hindsight trade evaluation still has to recognize that New York received zero regular-season snaps from the player selected with the acquired pick.
Philadelphia Eagles Return
Wilson made the Eagles' roster and appeared in 16 games as a rookie, starting four. He caught five passes for 38 yards and a touchdown while also contributing in the run game and on special teams. McMahon did not stay with Philadelphia; the Rams claimed him before the 2024 season, and he later made an NFL start for Los Angeles. That limits the Eagles' haul, but Wilson alone provided actual roster value.
Value in Hindsight
Neither side obtained a major player from the exchange, and Philadelphia surrendered two late selections to move up. Still, the comparison is straightforward because one club received meaningful snaps while the other received none.
Final Verdict
Philadelphia earns a B- for getting a useful rookie role from Wilson and at least selecting two NFL-caliber players. New York receives a D because Travis never played before retiring. The Eagles win on realized value.
