Daniel Jones: Sauce Gardner Trade Signals Confidence in Our Potential
Quarterback Daniel Jones expressed optimism about the Indianapolis Colts following their recent acquisition of cornerback Sauce Gardner. The trade, which involved two first-round picks and wide receiver AD Mitchell, signals a strong belief in the team’s potential this season.
Sauce Gardner Joins the Colts
Sauce Gardner’s first day with the Colts generated excitement among players and coaches alike. After a challenging defeat to the Steelers, which left the team with a 7-2 record, this trade represents a significant investment in the current season.
Impact on Team Morale
Jones emphasized the positive energy surrounding the team. He remarked, “There’s still a lot in front of us, and we’ve got to continue to improve.” The quarterback believes that the decision by management demonstrates a firm belief in the players’ capabilities.
Long-Term Confidence
The Colts are betting on their future by trading away crucial draft picks for Gardner. This decision limits their options for acquiring another quarterback in 2026 and 2027. Such a move reinforces their confidence in Jones, who is currently playing under a one-year contract.
