Colts just made stance painfully obvious on Alec Pierce with Sauce Gardner trade

Are you ready, Indianapolis Colts fans? Your favorite team didn't do the thing general manager Chris Ballard normally does and stand pat. Instead, after a blazingly hot start, Ballard decided his team might be a real Super Bowl threat and added cornerback Sauce Gardner.

Did the Colts give up too much for Gardner, one of the best cornerbacks in the league? Maybe. Two first-round draft selections are a lot for any player. But cornerbacks, just like edge rushers, quarterbacks, left tackles, and a great wide receiver, are one of the most important positions in football.

A bigger question is how much Sauce Gardner's huge contract affects what Indianapolis does in the future.
