Overview
- New York acquired Adonai Mitchell from Indianapolis as part of the blockbuster swap that sent Sauce Gardner to the Colts, with the Jets also receiving two future first-round picks.
- Ian Rapoport reported the Browns had lined up a late-round pick offer for Mitchell and planned to complete the trade if he had not been included in the Gardner deal.
- Rapoport added that Mitchell drew real interest from multiple teams in the days leading up to the November 4 deadline.
- Mitchell’s Colts tenure featured limited production and a high-profile goal-line fumble against the Rams, which contributed to him falling out of favor in Indianapolis.
- The 2024 second-rounder is on a four-year rookie contract and has 32 receptions for 464 yards over 25 games, and he said Colts leadership informed him directly before the move.
