The New York Jets kicked off a fire sale that saw the team ship out not one, but two former All-Pro defenders in cornerback Sauce Gardner and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, who were dealt to the Colts and Cowboys, respectively. New York officially waved the white flag on 2025 and in the process netted a haul of draft selections in 2026 and 2027, giving the moribund franchise, which has posted nine straight losing seasons, some hope for the future.
It can be hard to keep track of just how many draft picks the Jets landed on Tuesday, as well as what the team's total haul—the picks added and what the team already possessed—looks like for the next two seasons. Here's a refresher on both fronts after the Jets' trade deadline flurry.
