Jets know trade cost of Texans QB Davis Mills

The New York Jets are weighing a potential trade for Davis Mills, Houston Texans’ backup quarterback. Mills backed up C.J. Stroud this season and started Weeks 10–12, throwing five touchdowns and one interception in three wins, according to Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton. Moton notes Mills’ starting experience could appeal to teams needing a short-term solution ahead of his 2027 free-agency bid, estimating his trade value at a 2027 fifth-round pick plus a 2028 seventh-round pick. While no direct link between the Jets and Texans has been reported, Mills’ youth and upside could attract teams seeking a longer-term option without a high price tag. The Jets’ timeline, with Geno Smith and Cade Klubnik in mind, would influence any decision.
