INDIANAPOLIS (AP/WNDU) - Sauce Gardner went from last place to first after a blockbuster trade just before Tuesday’s trade deadline.

According to multiple reports , the New York Jets agreed to trade the two-time All-Pro cornerback to the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday for two first-round draft picks and wide receiver Adonai Mitchell.

The Jets will receive the Colts’ first-round selection in 2026 and in 2027.

Gardner, an All-Pro selection in his first two seasons, signed a four-year, $120.4 million contract extension with the Jets in July. He was the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2022.

He joins the AFC South-leading Colts (7-2) after spending his first 3 1/2 seasons with the Jets, who currently boast the longest active playoff drought in the NFL.
