Jets Trade With Indianapolis To Acquire 3rd Overall Pick In 2018 NFL Draft

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — It appears as if Gang Green is going for broke in this year’s NFL Draft.

The Jets have acquired the Indianapolis Colts’ number three overall pick in exchange for their sixth overall pick, 37th overall pick, 49th overall pick, and next year’s second round pick.

The move comes after New York kicked off free agency with a furious frenzy.

After losing out on the Kirk Cousins sweepstakes, they brought back Josh McCown on a one-year deal worth $10 million on Wednesday. They also agreed to terms with former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater — also on a one-year contract, according to published reports.
