While the New York Jets acquired future draft assets for star cornerback Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner and stud defensive tackle Quinnen Williams ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, the Jets curiously held onto out-of-contract running back Breece Hall.

New York's trade deadline deals netted them extra picks in the first two rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft. Here's how they could use them.

With that, here are seven things to know about the Jets' new wide receiver: Mitchell is in his second season but has had a slow start in the pros. In 25 career games played, the 6-foot-2 wideout only has 32 catches for 464 yards. Mitchell is still looking for his first touchdown.

The Jets have been a punchline for years. But after a pair of blockbuster midseason trades got rid of two of their best players, it’s clear they’re now actively trying to be bad.

Former Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. has been medically cleared to return to the NFL, according to various reports. Samuel underwent spinal fusion surgery in April after being limited to four appearances in 2024 due to a stinger-like injury. He plans to make free agency visits as soon as this week.

The Browns made one small move on trade deadline day, while the Jets made two massive ones. They'll see each other next on Sunday in New Jersey.

Gardner was traded to Indianapolis on Tuesday for a first-round draft pick in 2026 and another in 2027, along with wide receiver Adonai Mitchell. A few hours later, Williams was dealt to Dallas for a second-round pick in 2026, a first-round selection in 2027 and defensive tackle Mazi Smith.
