The Jets got down to business Tuesday with a division rival.
The Bills are acquiring Jets cornerback Brandon Codrington in exchange for a late-round 2026 pick swap, The Post’s Brian Costello confirmed.
A North Carolina Central product, Codrington signed with the Jets in May as an undrafted free agent following the team’s rookie minicamp.

The undrafted rookie signed with the Jets in May. John Jones-USA TODAY SportsHe shined in the preseason as a returner and had a 63-yard kickoff return against the Panthers earlier this month, as well as a 31-yard punt return.
“Definitely seized his opportunities,” Jets coach Robert Saleh said of Codrington postgame. “I think he was, for both teams, the most productive. He set up a couple of scoring drives. That’s what he’s here for. That’s why we brought him in, his punt return and kick return ability. I thought he did a really nice job tonight.”
The news of the in-division trade comes as NFL teams trim their rosters to 53 before the 4 p.m. deadline Tuesday.
The Jets will host the Bills on “Monday Night Football” on Oct. 14 before traveling to Buffalo on Dec. 29.
