2024 NFL roster bubble: Kadarius Toney among players who could be traded or cut

There are a lot of teams looking for NFL-caliber tackles this time of year (and most times of the year), so Mitchell is worth keeping an eye on.

A fourth-rounder in 2022, Mitchell has had a couple tough seasons — mostly at right tackle — in the NFL. This offseason, he watched the Jets add three big-name tackles in vets Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses and first-rounder Olu Fashanu. And that was after the Jets used a fourth-rounder on Carter Warren in 2023.

When the Jets have been at full strength, Warren and Mitchell have rotated as the second-team right tackle. Warren appeared to be leading that race, and he started last Saturday’s game against the Panthers, playing most of the first half, while Mitchell closed it out with the third-stringers.

Mitchell played well against Carolina and had some fans in the scouting community a few years ago when he was taken 111th overall. He still could make the roster, and it’s possible no one is willing to give up much in a trade. But at such a high-priority position, with more than a few teams dealing with injuries there now, we could see some action.
