It was almost a year ago today that Jets General Manager made his first major splash in his new post when he acquired wide receiver Brandon Marhshall from the Chicago Bears in what turned out to be one of the most lopsided deals in team history as Marshall posted monster numbers, pulling in 109 receptions for 1,502 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Now this nugget of info from NFL insider Adam Schefter.

Bears and Martellus Bennett's agent, Kennard McGuire, are working together to trade the tight end to an agreeable landing spot, per source.

In typical New York Jets fashion, the team dropped a decision to the LA Rams yesterday but one of the biggest story lines had more to do with Aaaron Rodgers than it did the New York Jets.
