The Colts will trade cornerback Quincy Wilson to the Jets, as Manish Mehta of the Daily News tweets. In exchange, the Jets will send a sixth-round pick (No. 211 overall) to Indianapolis.
The Colts brought Wilson into the league three years ago as a second-round pick. He was unable to find a consistent role in the defense, however, and never realized his potential in the NFL. With one year left on his deal, he’ll look to get back on track with the Jets.
Wilson has made ten starts for the Colts, split evenly between his first two seasons. To his credit, he’s shown flashes, including a strong second half in 2018.
In New York, he’ll slot somewhere alongside Pierre Desir, Arthur Maulet, Bennett Jackson, Blessuan Austin, and fellow ex-Colt Nate Hairston. Of course, there’s no guarantee that he’ll be able to make the 53-man cut, but he’ll get an opportunity to stick between now and the start of the season.
Here’s the Jets’ draft haul thus far, via PFR’s tracker:
1-11: Mekhi Becton, T (Louisville)
2-59: Denzel Mims, WR (Baylor)
3-68: Ashtyn Davis, S (California)
3-79: Jabari Zuniga, DE (Florida)
4-120: Lamical Perine, RB (Florida)
4-125: James Morgan, QB (Florida International)
4-129: Cameron Clark, OT (Charlotte)
5-158: Bryce Hall, CB (Virginia)
6-191: Braden Mann, P (Texas A&M)
Man the colts and jets love making deals together
Desir also is a former Colt too.
Throw Bryce Hall into that competition mix as well!
Yeah dang man I remember him being a solid 1st projection man Great pick up.
I’m surprised: The Jets actually put together a promising draft class. They obtained a blindside blocker, value receiver, respectable pass-rusher, solid backup for Bell, and an absolute steal in Bryce Hall. Morgan should be an interesting prospect as well
Well it’s a new regime and Joe Douglas has ties to Baltimore and Philly. Maybe smart drafting will start occuring.
I was disappointed Jets didn’t get another WR. They did however, sign two very big, fast and sure handed wideouts: Lawrence Cager (Georgia) and George Campbell (West Virginia) as UDFAs. Both look very talented.
