Overview
- Indianapolis lands two-time All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner for 2026 and 2027 first-round picks plus wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, with the 7-2 Colts framing the move as a push for contention.
- Dallas acquires All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams for a 2026 second-rounder, a 2027 first-rounder that will be the higher of Dallas’ or Green Bay’s, and defensive tackle Mazi Smith.
- The Cowboys also add linebacker Logan Wilson from the Bengals for a seventh-round pick as they try to bolster a defense ranked near the bottom of the league.
- New York’s haul gives the Jets multiple first-round selections in both 2026 and 2027, with reporting indicating five first-rounders and three second-rounders over the next two drafts.
- Gardner’s July four-year, $120.4 million extension underscores the scale of the turnaround as the 1-7 Jets pivot to future cap flexibility and draft-driven roster building.
