So I’m looking at making the leap to full frame. I like to shoot landscapes, sports, and possibly portraits. The Nikon D850 looks very nice. What lens or lenses would anyone recommend?

So, between the camera and lenses, do do you have about 8 grand?

You cannot go cheap with that D850 sensor. It demands very high quality lenses to give the best images possible.
Nikons Holy Trinity works VERY well. 14-24mm, 24-70mm, and 70-200mm, all F2.8 lenses.

Do you mean the Sigma 24-35mm F2 Art lens?

24-70, 70-200, 105F1.4, 200F2, 200-400F4, 85F1.4, 300F2.8, 400F2.8, 500F4. The D850 will shine with great lenses. If these lenses are too costly, then you need not spend the $$$ to get a D850.

Why would you ask such a disrespectful question? Did the OP give ANY indication that he can’t afford any lens of his choosing?

Your Holy Trilogy is not the same as the Nikon Holy Trinity.

I understand what you are saying. If you wanted to buy the D850 and Nikon's Tripple do everything lenses you would be close to 13K

I have the Nikon D850 and have used the Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 G lens with great results on landscape and portraits another lens for just landscape would be the 14-24mm f2.8 G, but the 24-70 is not a sports lens and other than the 70-200mm (which can fall short depending on what sport) can I suggest the Nikon 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 G ED VR it has reach and delivers great image quality, but is slow in low light situations. Depending on budget the Nikon exotic such as the 400mm, 500mm and 600mm would more than fit the bill for sports.

It is sort of a moot point until you get a camera.
