CINCINNATI — The New York Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh on Wednesday morning and Sauce Gardner is not pleased with the decision.

ESPN's Kimberley Martin revealed comments from Gardner on the situation, with him saying Saleh "changed his life."

He and Saleh were close dating back to his draft night with New York in 2022, and Gardner shutdown his social media since the firing.

The All-Pro cornerback also noted to Martin that New York is "doing it for him still" after starting the season 2-3 overall. Gardner has slipped a bit himself early on, sporting a 64.3 PFF grade and one touchdown allowed after allowing just two over his first two NFL seasons.
