Kerry Rhodes traded to Arizona

So as my last blog stated, there were rumors that S Kerry Rhodes may be involved in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals. However, about 20 minutes after my blog, Rex Ryan and Mike Tannenbaum stated that Rhodes would remain on the Jets and receive his roster bonus. Since when did I start trusting what Tannenbaum and Rex said? Anyway, Rhodes was traded to the Cardinals for a 2010 4th rounder and a 2011 7th rounder. It seems like the Jets were asking for a 3rd, but ended up settling for the two later picks. Remember, Arizona made the playoffs last year so the 4th round pick will be late in the round, I believe 26th.

Now the Jets have an obvious need at safety opposite of Jim Leonhard. Eric Smith can help out in run support, but I don't want him matched up 1-on-1 with Dallas Clark. Look for the Jets to sign or pick up a safety before the draft.
