“Literally three minutes ago, I got a call from someone within the [Jets] organization,” he said Tuesday on the TV show. “My assistant called and said, ‘Hey B, this guy called you and said it’s an emergency.’ We were just in the green room. I put my head down and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh. I’m about to get traded.’ He said, ‘I just want to let you know. Don’t listen to the rumors. We’re not shopping you.’ I was about to cry. I literally was about to cry. I was like, ‘How am I going to go on this show and maintain myself?’ But, I’m still a Jet.”
