Jets Trade Rumors: TE Chris Herndon 'Drawing Interest from Multiple Teams'

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon is reportedly "drawing interest from multiple teams" ahead of the Nov. 3 trade deadline, according to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports.

He could be considered an option for the New England Patriots as they look to upgrade the passing attack, with receivers Adam Thielen, Willer Fuller and Breshad Perriman considered other possibilities.

Herndon has 13 catches for 98 yards in six games so far this season after injuries and suspension held him to just one game in 2019.

The 2018 fourth-round pick showed a lot of promise as a rookie with 39 catches for 502 yards and four scores, second on the team to Robby Anderson in each category.

He missed the first four games of 2019 after violating the league's substance-abuse policy, while a hamstring injury kept him out the next four games. He caught one pass before fracturing his ribs in Week 10 and was placed on injured reserve.

Returning to full strength in 2020 provided some excitement for the 24-year-old, but he hasn't connected well with either Sam Darnold or Joe Flacco at quarterback.

After an 0-6 start, the Jets can move any players with value on the trade market that will help return assets for a rebuild.

Meanwhile, Herndon represents a low risk with just a $917,381 cap hit for 2020 and $1.09 million mark for 2021 before hitting free agency, per Spotrac.

If the 6'4", 253-pound athlete can reach his potential in a new location, he could represent excellent trade value in the coming weeks.
