INDIANAPOLIS – Hopefully, a chaotic week is eased by eight-plus hours of peace and quiet on a chartered jet.
At least, that’s Sauce Gardner’s hope.
The All-Pro cornerback described his relocation from the New York Jets to the Indianapolis Colts as “the craziest 48 hours of my life.’’
Monday, Gardner was a $120 million cornerstone of the Jets.
Tuesday, he was headed to Indy after General Manager Chris Ballard pulled the trigger on the biggest trade of his nine-year tenure. To acquire one of the NFL’s premier cornerbacks, the Colts parted with two first-round draft picks and wide receiver AD Mitchell.
“I actually was (lying) in bed with my girl and I was chillin’,’’ Gardner said Thursday afternoon.
Then, Jets General Manager Darren Mougey called to inform him of the blockbuster deal.
