Indianapolis Colts trade for cornerback Sauce Gardner of the New York Jets

The Indianapolis Colts made a blockbuster trade on November fourth, acquiring star cornerback Sauce Gardner from the New York Jets. This is the first trade deadline deal in General Manager Chris Ballard's nine-year tenure with the team. The Colts traded away their first-round draft picks for the next two years and wide receiver AD Mitchell to secure Gardner, a two-time All-Pro cornerback. Gardner's exceptional man coverage skills, ability to contest throws, and strong tackling make him a valuable addition to the Colts' defense. His impressive career statistics and young age further solidify his status as a top-tier player. This acquisition significantly boosts the Colts' secondary, which has struggled with injuries, and could make it one of the strongest in the NFL. DNN | The Daily News Now!
