All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner strongly believes that the New York Jets will make the playoffs for the first time since 2010 after his team added quarterback Aaron Rodgers via a trade from the Green Bay Packers on Monday.
Gardner discussed the upcoming season with The Ringer's Kevin Clark on Slow News Day.
Kevin Clark @bykevinclarkI asked Sauce Gardner today if the Jets were going to make the playoffs with Aaron Rodgers and end the longest playoff drought in American sports. His answer was, uh, pretty direct. 👀 All this on tomorrow's Slow News Day. Plus Jets defense talk, draft talk and <a href="https://twitter.com/CallofDuty?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CallofDuty</a>. <a href="https://t.co/KdQBXnFVvx">pic.twitter.com/KdQBXnFVvx</a>
"Oh, yeah, most definitely," Gardner said when asked if the drought will end.
"We was a playoff team last year. You know, we didn't finish like we was supposed to. ... But with A-Rod joining and a few more new pieces, you know, that just makes it easy."
Gardner added a follow-up to those remarks on Twitter.

As Gardner noted, the Jets were looking like a playoff team last year after a 7-4 start, but they proceeded to lose their last six games.
A struggling offense played a big role in the late-season swoon. The Jets allowed the fourth-fewest points but also scored the fourth-fewest, leading to the offseason quarterback change.
Gardner is obviously a big fan of Rodgers, to the point where he's even added a picture of him during the quarterback's collegiate days at Cal as his Twitter avatar.
He previously recruited Rodgers with Super Bowl aspirations in mind:

The shutdown cornerback also shared this text conversation with Rodgers involving a cheesehead he wore after the Jets' 27-10 win over the Packers last year.
D'ROY GARDNER @iamSauceGardnerYes…Yes it would be a pretty sick story🤣 <a href="https://t.co/Mks67o435o">pic.twitter.com/Mks67o435o</a>
Now Rodgers is in town after the blockbuster deal.
Ian Rapoport @RapSheetMost notable for Thursday night: The draft order has changed: The <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Packers?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Packers</a> pick 13th, the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Jets?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Jets</a> pick 15th. <a href="https://t.co/jL5LFajGWz">https://t.co/jL5LFajGWz</a>
The Jets will look to continue to improve the roster around Rodgers, Gardner and the rest of the squad beginning Thursday. The Jets will pick 15th.
