The Indianapolis Colts sent two first-round picks to the New York Jets for Pro Bowl cornerback Sauce Gardner on Tuesday.

Gardner, 25, was the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2022 and is a two-time Pro Bowl and All-Pro first-team selection since being selected with the No. 4 overall pick in 2022.

"New York it's been real," Gardner posted on X, along with a green heart emoji.

The Jets will receive the Colts' first-round picks in 2026 and 2027 along with wide receiver Adonai Mitchell in exchange for Gardner.

The Jets (1-7) swerved directly into a rebuild on defense, reportedly trading tree-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Quinnen Williams to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for defensive tackle Mazi Smith, a 2026 second-round pick and 2027 first-round selection.
