Overview
- The Colts acquired Gardner from the Jets for two future first-round picks and wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, meeting New York’s pre-set asking price.
- Gardner cleared concussion protocol and played in the NFL Germany game against the Falcons, logging six tackles and a pass defended in an overtime Colts win.
- New Jets receiver Adonai Mitchell was ruled inactive for the Week 10 matchup with the Browns, according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini.
- The Browns had planned a late-round trade for Mitchell before he was included in the Gardner package to New York, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
- Reporting indicates the Jets began valuing trade options weeks before the deadline and now hold multiple first-rounders and young players as part of an organizational reset.
