Colts' Chris Ballard Reacts to Stunning Sauce Gardner Trade

The Indianapolis Colts have made a bold move, acquiring All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner from the New York Jets in a blockbuster trade. In exchange, they've given up their first-round draft picks in 2026 and 2027, along with wide receiver Adonai Mitchell. This trade signals the Colts' confidence in their current roster and their readiness to compete for the Super Bowl. Gardner, a two-time All-Pro and Defensive Rookie of the Year, brings a much-needed boost to their defense, which has struggled against passing plays. The trade, despite the high cost, is seen as a smart move due to Gardner's manageable contract and the expected late first-round picks. The Colts are now serious Super Bowl contenders with Gardner anchoring their secondary. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story. AI powered.
