Meet the three new Jets who will try to make the case to be part of Gang Green’s future
NY Post
In dealing away two young defensive stars (Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams), a useful cornerback (Michael Carter II) and any remote hopes for their present, the Jets placed faith in their front office and scouting minds to turn three first-round picks and a second-round pick into difference-making talent over the next couple of years.
But overlooked in these trades is the talent that had not developed as hoped elsewhere, the Jets also placing faith in their own coaching staff to maximize once-promising players who might be able to blossom with opportunity and/or a change of scenery.
Somewhat quietly, the Jets picked up a trio of former high draft picks who they hope will show more with their current team than their past team(s).
Included in the Gardner trade was wideout Adonai Mitchell, who was been a second-round pick of the Colts in 2024.
In exchange for Carter, the Jets received another receiver, John Metchie III, who was selected in the second round by the Texans in 2022.
Included in the Williams trade was defensive tackle Mazi Smith, a first-round pick of the Cowboys in 2023.
