Report: Jets received trade inquiries about Dee Milliner
The New York Jets have received trade inquiries about cornerback Dee Milliner, reports the New York Daily News’s Manish Mehta.
Milliner, the ninth overall pick in the 2013 NFL draft, was placed on season-ending injured reserve last October after tearing his Achilles tendon while trying to block a field goal.

According to the report, the Jets aren’t actively putting Milliner on the trade block and have told teams interested in Milliner that he "isn’t available at a drastically discounted price."
During this off-season, the Jets have signed Darrelle Revis to a five-year, $70 million contract, signed former Browns cornerback Buster Skrine to a four-year deal worth $25 million and have given Antonio Cromartie $32 million over four years.
Last year, the Jets allowed 31 touchdowns passes, third-most in the NFL.
