There has been trade speculation surrounding New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis and a potential deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, Revis might not be the only Jets’ player heading to Tampa Bay in a trade, as Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reports New York could also ship quarterback Mark Sanchez to the Bucs.

PFT hears from a source that there have been discussions between the Jets and Bucs that have included the possibility of Tampa Bay assuming the contract of Sanchez. It’s important to remember that this would be no small task, as Sanchez is guaranteed $8.25 million in 2013.

This is certainly a wrinkle, as the Bucs already have who many consider to be their starter in Josh Freeman. However, there have been rumblings that head coach Greg Schiano would like to add competition at the position to push Freeman.

Unloading Sanchez would certainly improve the prospects of trading Revis, and it should lessen the return New York requires for the All-Pro cornerback.
