See ya Sam: Jets trade Darnold to Panthers for 3 draft picks

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Sam Darnold was the face of a hopeful franchise, a promising playmaker who might just be the New York Jets’ quarterback for at least the next decade. But the speculation New York would move on from the young QB only intensified when Douglas, new coach Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur all traveled to Provo, Utah, to watch quarterback Wilson’s impressive passing display at BYU’s pro day on March 26. Former coach Adam Gase also acknowledged he didn’t help Darnold enough to thrive in their two seasons together, and the Jets lacked playmaking talent to help him take the next step in his development. New York would have had until May 3 to decide whether to exercise Darnold’s fifth-year option — which would have cost the Jets $18.9 million, fully guaranteed.
