Dee Milliner was drafted out of Alabama to replace Darrelle Revis.
He failed — Revis and Cromartie are back — and reports say Milliner could be headed out of town if the price is right.
Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports the Jets have received inquiries about trading Milliner from other teams, but that the Jets have told them that they aren’t willing to deal their 2013 first-round pick for a mid- or late-round draft pick this time.
The Daily News has learned that teams have made trade inquiries about the Jets’ 2013 first-round pick in the wake of the cornerback upgrades.
On the surface, Milliner, who is rehabbing a season-ending torn Achilles tendon he suffered five months ago, appears expendable. His extensive injury history coupled with the new additions in the secondary prompted some teams to think that they could acquire him on the cheap.
However, the Jets have told interested teams that Milliner isn’t available at a drastically discounted price . . . yet, according to sources.
Milliner, the ninth overall pick and consensus top cornerback of the 2013 draft, has missed 16 games in his first two seasons due to four different injuries after undergoing five surgeries at Alabama.
