The Sauce Gardner trade from the New York Jets to the Indianapolis Colts has sparked all kinds of reactions. The cornerback joined one of the best teams in the league ahead of the NFL trade deadline, instantly improving their chances to contend for the Super Bowl.Many think Gardner put his new team closer to the big goal, but one of the best secondary players in recent years shut down the notion that the Colts are ready to challenge for the Vince Lombardi trophy. Ahead of Thursday night's duel between the Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders, Richard Sherman rejected the idea that Gardner was the last piece the Colts needed to win it all. "I'm not sure it does (improve the Colts' Super Bowl chances)," Sherman said. "He's an incredible player. There's no doubt about that. He's a great player, can play man-to-man, can shut down a No. 1 receiver for an offense, but we're talking about Super Bowl chances. "Who do you have to go through in the AFC? You gotta go through the Buffalo Bills, probably the Kansas City Chiefs, the Denver Broncos. What No. 1 receiver are you gonna shut down that's gonna change his offense fundamentally? I'm not sure you do, I'm not sure you have one."Sherman added that cornerbacks aren't as impactful as other positions, naming pass rushers as one spot he would have loved the Colts or any other team to improve at the trade deadline, mentioning the Cleveland Browns' star Myles Garrett as his top guy."He makes them a better team, no question about it, but in terms of the overall landscape, it's tough."Sauce Gardner has played 55 games in the NFL, posting three interceptions, 46 passes defensed, one sack and 201 tackles. Shane Steichen warns opposing offenses about the Colts' revamped secondary with Sauce GardnerIndianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen is ecstatic after getting Sauce Gardner. Speaking on the cornerback's abilities to shut down opponents, Steichen said the new-look secondary will be a problem for the other teams."That's a problem, obviously, as an offensive guy looking at defenses," Steichen said about the challenge the Colts defense will now pose to opponents. "You got to try to find ways to free your guys up because you know they're going to be sticky in coverage. So it's great for our football team to have those two guys along with the other guys we got there."Gardner will make his debut against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in Berlin.
