JETS BRING IN BALLAGE Thursday, August 27, 2020
The New York Jets acquired running back Kalen Ballage from the Miami Dolphins for a conditional seventh-round draft pick in 2021.
What does it give the New York Jets?
Obviously, there is a connection here with Ballage and current Jets head coach Adam Gase (who coached in Miami prior to landing his current gig). That said, New York is fairly deep in veteran running back talent. Therefore, this move is a bit of a head scratcher.
What does it give the Miami Dolphins?
The Dolphins had no plans to keep the 24-year-old Ballage, who really struggled last season despite starting six of 12 games. However, they may not get anything in return for his services (the conditional pick is probably contingent upon Ballage making the Jets out of camp).
Fantasy Impact
There is no need to draft Ballage, as he is currently behind Le'Veon Bell, Frank Gore and La'Mical Perine on the running back depth chart.
