I’m not sure they have anyone else of enough value if they can’t get a sniff for Farley or Kindred.

The Jets sure do like to trade with us since Ballard arrived. They've done pretty well in those trades too. Not saying we haven't done well also, only that the I'm sure the Jets are satisfied with the outcomes.

Everybody wis. Hairston goes where hes wanted. Colts get a pick. Jets get help where they needed.

Ballard is amazing.

Maybe a TE, or a WR. We are not keeping 5 TEs, and WR was an area that some thought we had enough depth to trade a guy.

Maybe teams just wait for us to cut them at this point, though.

That’s the right place to look, but I don’t think someone’s giving a pick for a guy like Travis or Pascal/Johnson. Perhaps Rogers could’ve gotten a pick if Fountain hadn’t gotten hurt.

But if you can go get a guy you like and you don't want to get into a bidding war, if you go get him for a reasonable price/draft pick, why not?

There is a condition. The Jets had two 6th round draft picks - they had picked up one from KC from a prior trade. The condition on the pick is that the Colts will receive the lower of the two 6th round draft picks - so it probably means it will be the Chiefs pick.

Apparently, there was more than one condition. The Colts are returning the 6th round pick back to the Jets.

This is sort of odd - usually there are two picks involved......like conditional 6th but if conditions aren't met, then it is a 7th substituted instead.

From the Jets beat writer, it appears the Colts traded Hairston for nothing. Maybe things are more complicated because the Jets don't have a 7th round pick currently.....and the Colts said don't worry about it.

Can confirm Colts sit at 8 draft picks in 2020, instead of nine, because the conditions of the Nate Hairston trade weren't met to get back the Jets' sixth-rounder, as @BrianCoz reported

What happened to Hairston? Don’t much care about a 6th. Honestly, this team doesn’t need depth. It needs more difference makers that are starters.

He didn't play that much - about 35% of the defensive snaps. Didn't even appear in 5 games.

Eh - I'm not that high on Gase as a head coach.....he always seems to do weird things with his roster decisions.
