""That was the first time that I've been in a locker room that electric this year after a game because that was my first win I've been a part of," said Gardner, who was traded from the New York Jets to the Colts in a blockbuster deal last week and missed the struggling Jets' Week 8 win over the Cincinnati Bengals."
"To be clear, conversations about locking up Jones beyond his current one-year contract have been happening internally for months at Colts headquarters, according to team sources. The idea was broached, in theory, even before Jones started the season as one of the hottest quarterbacks in the NFL."
Sauce Gardner joined the Indianapolis Colts via a blockbuster trade from the New York Jets and celebrated his first win with the new team after an overtime walk-off against the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin's Olympic Stadium. Gardner logged a team-high 31 coverage snaps, was the nearest defender on six targets, and the Falcons were 0-for-3 with a pass defended when targeting him in the second half. The Colts surrendered two first-round picks to acquire Gardner. Internal conversations to extend Jones beyond his one-year contract have been ongoing, and Jones's league-leading passing yards and 70% completion rate have increased organizational conviction.
