AP source: Jets trade Herndon

NEW YORK — The New York Jets have traded tight end Chris Herndon to the Minnesota Vikings, a person with direct knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press.

Herndon was a fourth-round pick of the Jets in 2018 out of Miami. He had a promising rookie season, but never quite became the consistent playmaker New York was hoping for.

NFL Network first reported the trade Tuesday as teams whittled their rosters to the maximum 53-player limit. The person confirmed the deal to the AP on condition of anonymity because neither team had announced the trade.

Terms of the deal were not immediately known, but it is believed the Jets will receive draft compensation from the Vikings.

GIANTS ACQUIRE OL BREDESON FROM RAVENS FOR DRAFT PICKS

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants have acquired offensive lineman Ben Bredeson from the Baltimore Ravens for a couple of draft picks.

New York said it shipped a 2022 fourthround draft choice and received Bredeson, a 2022 fifth-round selection and a 2023 seventh-round choice.

It was the Giants’ second trade for an offensive lineman in two days. They acquired center Billy Price from Cincinnati for defensive lineman B.J. Hill and a conditional seventh-round 2022 draft choice.

CHIEFS TRADE OL DURANT TO PATRIOTS FOR 7TH-ROUND 2022 PICK

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Chiefs traded offensive lineman Yasir Durant to the Patriots for a seventh-round pick in the 2022 draft as they trimmed their roster to the 53-man limit by Tuesday’s deadline.

Durant made the Chiefs last season as an undrafted free agent out of Missouri, and he started Week 17 at right guard as the Chiefs rested their starters. But he was lost in a numbers game in Kansas City, which completely revamped its offensive line after a bunch of backups and fill-ins were dominated by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Super Bowl.
