Tuesday, October 4, at 4:00 p.m. EST was the 2025 NFL trade deadline. To the surprise of many, the New York Jets were sellers. The team parted ways with two franchise cornerstones on their defense.
Sauce Gardner was traded to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for two first-round picks. Additionally, Quinnen Williams was traded to the Dallas Cowboys for a first and second-round selection. An absolutely stunning move by the first-year general manager, Darren Mougey. Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Mougey explained that trading Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams was not a “teardown” for New York.
