TRADE: Jets Trading OLB Jordan Willis To 49ers

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Jets are trading OLB Jordan Willis to the 49ers on Wednesday. 

Pelissero adds that the Jets will receive a 2022 sixth-round pick from the 49ers for Williams and a 2021 seventh-round pick. 

This is the second trade the Jets have swung in the last four days after they agreed to send DT Steve McLendon to the Buccaneers. 

Willis, 25, is a former third-round pick of the Bengals back in 2017. Willis was in the third year of his four-year, $3.61 million contract when the Bengals waived him last September. 

Willis was later claimed off of waivers by the Jets. 

He’s owed a base salary of $865,250 for the 2020 season and will be an unrestricted free agent next year. 

In 2020, Willis has been active for two games and has recorded a fumble recovery.

For his career, Willis has appeared in 43 games for the Bengals and Jets and recorded 52 tackles, three sacks, a fumble recovery and a pass defense.
