Jets trade Sauce Gardner to Colts: Last piece to Super Bowl puzzle? What's N.Y. thinking?
"The Colts started Tuesday with 12-1 odds to win the Super Bowl, and that improved to 11-1 after acquiring Sauce Gardner from the New York Jets for two first-round draft picks. The Colts (7-2) obviously believe they have their strongest chance to win their first Lombardi Trophy since the 2006 season as they went all-in for the 25-year-old Gardner, who the Jets made the highest-paid cornerback in the offseason. Indianapolis travels to Berlin, Germany this weekend to face the Atlanta Falcons (9:30 a.m. ET, NFL Network), but it's uncertain if Gardner will be ready in time to play. The Colts are hopeful."
"Moving the 2022 No. 4 overall draft pick wasn't the only major deal the Jets made before Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline. They also dealt defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to the Dallas Cowboys for a second-round pick in 2026, a first-rounder in 2027 and defensive tackle Mazi Smith. The Jets are firmly in rebuild mode and have accumulated several high draft picks. But how quickly can they turn things around?"
The Indianapolis Colts improved Super Bowl odds from 12-1 to 11-1 after trading two first-round picks to acquire 25-year-old cornerback Sauce Gardner from the New York Jets. The Colts are 7-2 and view the addition as an all-in move to chase their first Lombardi Trophy since 2006. Gardner was the highest-paid cornerback in the offseason. Availability for the upcoming game in Berlin against the Falcons remains uncertain. The New York Jets also traded defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to the Dallas Cowboys and accumulated multiple future high draft selections while beginning a rebuild. Reporters and analysts offered varied perspectives on roster impact and trade strategy.
