Darron Lee has been one of the most rumored players available for trade this offseason. While the New York Jets have been open to dealing him, they have not been trying to move him just to make a trade. They obviously have a price that they would like to get back for him, but perhaps a team could still get him on Day 3 of the 2019 NFL Draft.

According to a report from Rich Cimini of ESPN, the Jets are still open to trading Lee and he could still move before the end of the NFL Draft.

It will be interesting to see if any team swoops in and decides to trade for Lee. There is no denying that he has the potential to be a good NFL linebacker, but he has not developed the way New York was hoping.

Last season with the Jets, Lee ended up with 74 total tackles to go along with three interceptions, a defensive touchdown, and five defended passes. He is a fast linebacker that can drop back well in coverage. There are some issues with his game, but in the right system he might break out.

No teams have been rumored to have interest in Lee specifically thus far. That doesn't mean that one won't come out of the woodwork to make a trade for a 24-year-old linebacker.

There is going to be a lot of wheeling and dealing in rounds four through six. Whether the Jets decide to keep Lee or not, 2019 is going to be a make-or-break season for him.
