The New York Jets pulled off a stunner by saying so long to Sauce Gardner.

The star cornerback, one of the team’s most popular and accomplished players, was traded to the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday for a first-round draft pick in 2026 and another in 2027, along with wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, pending physicals.

“Having the opportunity to acquire a talented player like Sauce Gardner was one we did not want to pass on,” Colts general manager Chris Ballard said in a statement.

Gardner, an All-Pro selection in his first two seasons, signed a four-year, $120.4 million contract extension with the Jets in July and appeared to be a cornerstone player for new coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey.

“New York it’s been real,” Gardner posted with a green heart emoji on X.
