The New York Jets traded defensive lineman Steve McLendon to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after the team’s blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night.

According to FOX Sports, it appears that McLendon could not wait any longer to get to his new team and he reportedly got into a car and drove directly from Miami to Tampa after learning of the trade.

McLendon is the latest Jets player to either get released or traded this season. New York traded safety Jamal Adams to the Seattle Seahawks prior to the start of the season and released prized running back Le’Veon Bell last week, who later signed with the Kansas City Chiefs.
