Could they have jeopardized the #1 pick by issuing gifts to draft candidates?  I assume they looked into this legally prior to sending the gift but dang, why even bother risking anything since the NFL would likely prefer Trevor going to the Jets.

It is my understanding that once the school year is over and the player is no longer part of the team, they can seek endorsements, accept gifts and other things without it being an issue. If he had gotten married during the season and fans in Jacksonville knew we were getting him and sent him gifts, that probably would've been an issue. 

With that said, Vic has always been a first class jerk.

OK, so are you stating the Jets could give Trevor Lawrence $50 million cash gift prior to the draft resulting in Trevor independently stating he will not play for the Jags (pulling a John Elway or Eli Manning trick).  Jets subsequently offer the Jags the #2 pick + 1st round picks in 2022 and 2023 -- the Jags being backed into a corner, accept the deal.   That's legal?  Perhaps the requirement of the NFL having to approve all trades could be justification for the NFL to shut down the shady deal.
