Blockbuster NFL trade could spell trouble for star Miami pass-rusher Rueben Bain Jr.

Rueben Bain Jr. may have disaster staring right in his face before his on-field performance at the NFL combine was scheduled to take place.

The New York Jets, who hold the No. 2 pick in the upcoming draft, traded defensive end Jermaine Johnson to the Tennessee Titans for big-bodied run stuffer T'Vondre Sweat. That move all but signals the Jets' will be in the pass rusher market with that second pick and many believe that Bain is the top player on their radar.

Rueben Bain Jr. should want to avoid the Jets at all costs

Listen, I am a long-suffering Jets fan. The first pro sports game I attended was the Jets-Bills playoff game at Shea Stadium in 1981, so slamming my team hurts me to the core. But right now, no top player should want to be part of an organization that is the standard for losing and inept ownership.

This isn't to say some former Miami Hurricanes didn't find plenty of success in Gotham. Jonathan Vilma was the 2004 Defensive Rookie of the Year and a 2005 Pro Bowler with the Jets, but he was also lucky enough to the Saints before the 2008 season, and he won a Super Bowl there a year later. Santana Moss had a couple of good years with the Jets in the early 2000s before going to Washington and becoming an All-Pro.

But those guys were the exceptions. The real winners were the ones that didn't get drafted by the Jets at all. Warren Sapp was basically a lock for the Jets at No. 9 in the 1995 NFL Draft, but those idiots selected Kyle Brady instead and Sapp went on to become one of the greatest defensive linemen of his era and an eventual Hall of Famer. Maybe Bain gets lucky as well and the Jets are scared off by his below-average measurements.

Bain is a great player and, more importantly, he comes across as a great person. The Jets really need someone with his winning attitude in the building. But many have tried before and most have failed. Bain would be lucky to just avoid the situation altogether.
