The Colts and Jets have previously made a trade with very similar circumstances - the Nate Hairston trade.
The Jets were high on the waiver priority order that offseason but they wanted to make sure that they acquired Hairston. The Jets agreed to send a conditional 6th round draft pick to the Colts for Hairston.
I don't know what type of playing time conditions were attached to the trade - Hairston only played in about 35% of the Jets defensive snaps the following season - but the Colts returned the 6th round pick back to the Jets.
In the end, the Colts traded Hairston to the Jets for nothing.
