AD Mitchell traded to Jets as part of Sauce Gardner deal
Our Summary
The New York Jets have secured wide receiver AD Mitchell as part of a trade with the Indianapolis Colts for cornerback Sauce Gardner. Along with Mitchell, the Jets will receive the Colts' first-round draft picks in 2026 and 2027. Mitchell, a second-round pick in 2024, has struggled to become a key player for the Colts. He garnered attention after a Week 4 game against the Rams, where he dropped the ball before scoring a touchdown. Since then, his playing time has diminished, resulting in nine catches for 152 yards this season. This trade marks a significant roster change for both the Jets and the Colts, involving high-profile draft picks and a swap of promising yet underperforming talent.
