The Jets basically did the same thing with niku. We hyped him beyond galore ranking him b/w 2nd-5th for multiple years in hf jets' prospect rankings. Yet clearly wasn't good enough and the Jets transactions would've told you that too.
NOT saying chisholm is as good or bad as niku, however unless multiple injuries hit there is no spot for him, and the Jets transactions (or lack of) seem to suggest they're content with their d group. Or he may not be better than any of the regulars we iced last season.
The Jets have a good d group and put up solid numbers. They have a better grasp on what they have on Chisholm or any prospect than anyone here. Maybe just maybe they know what they have in him.

@KingBogo mentioned we're a week away from camp and he got this as a contract. He's what, 7th on the LD depth chart? If the Jets viewed him anything of significant or a difference maker I think they'd have opened up a path for him to the roster much earlier in the off season.
And Stanley reportedly took back his trade request fwiw.
