According to a report from Zach Rosenblatt, a Jets reporter for The Athletic, New York actually urged Indianapolis to include wide receiver Adonai Mitchell in the bombshell trade for cornerback Sauce Gardner, for which the Colts also gave up two first-round picks.
Per Rosenblatt: "By the way, on the Adonai Mitchell part of the Sauce trade: the Jets pushed the Colts to add him into the deal. He wasn't originally part of it. They believe in his potential."
