Way way too soon.

Considering Mitchell's troubled and very sub-par tenure here, and also the fact that the Colts already have 3 excellent wide receivers on their roster, I don't think that the Colts would be missing their evaluation of Mitchell if he plays well with the Jets ...... as Racehorse pointed out, there is no possible way that one can presume that a traded player would have necessarily performed the same with his old team as he is performing with his new team. The change in environment was ideal for Mitchell, going from being a player who was widely scorned by the press and Colts fans for screwing up badly in crunch time when he played here to a team that is very under-the-radar because of how bad they are, and who can easily give him the playing time that he wasn't getting with the Colts, a team that had Michael Pittman Jr, Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce all playing ahead of him.
