Just when you thought the NFL off-season couldn’t get any more chaotic, Sauce Gardner casually dropped a line that blew up the timeline. The New York Jets cornerback revealed that he won’t be watching Hailee Steinfeld ’s latest movie Sinners and his reason? Loyalty. “Out of respect for my dawg Josh,” he posted. That “Josh,” of course, is Bills quarterback Josh Allen , who just happens to be engaged to Steinfeld.
Sauce Gardner’s loyalty to Josh Allen becomes the latest unexpected NFL-Hollywood crossover moment
Let’s break down what went down. Sinners, Hailee Steinfeld’s new drama with Michael B. Jordan, features some bold, intimate scenes, the kind fans aren’t used to seeing from the actress. Josh Allen hasn’t commented publicly, but Sauce clearly decided to take a stand. His quote, short and respectful, quickly went viral: “Out of respect for my dawg Josh, I will not be going to see Sinners.”
That one sentence has now snowballed into a full-blown Twitter debate. Some fans praised Sauce for having his friend’s back, calling it a wholesome show of solidarity. Others? Not so much.
Fans are split: Is this loyalty or low-key judgment? Why Sauce’s statement is triggering deeper conversations
A section of the internet applauded the gesture. But others found it... a little extra.
As if the Sinners debate wasn’t enough, fans took this moment to bring back one of Sauce Gardner’s most unexpected tabloid moments: those dating rumors with Ice Spice.
The real drama isn’t just about the movie, it’s how fans are turning Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld’s relationship into a public soap opera
What’s wild is that Josh Allen has said nothing but positive things about the film. He recently encouraged fans to check it out and said he’s “proud” of Steinfeld’s performance. And yet, fans seem more rattled than he is. Whether it’s the idea of an athlete dating a movie star or the reality of seeing their personal lives on screen, people can’t stop turning this into an emotional referendum.
Now with Sauce’s comment, the drama has only intensified, despite the fact that it likely came from a good place.

In the end, Sauce Gardner probably didn’t expect to start a culture war with one tweet. But here we are dissecting celebrity relationships, movie roles, and locker room dynamics like it’s a new HBO series.
Whether you think he’s the MVP of loyalty or just overstepping, one thing’s for sure: the line between sports, entertainment, and fandom has never been blurrier.
