Jets’ Sauce Gardner trade was so painful it literally made a kid cry

Being a New York Jets fan has never been easy, but this week might have been the hardest gut punch many fans have experienced in a long time. In the span of one afternoon, the team traded away two of the faces of their franchise in Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams.

It was a total reckoning of the roster the previous regime had worked to build. Two players who defined an era of Jets football and were still seen by many as long-term building blocks were shipped out of town in the span of a few hours.
