Traditions came first the Gospels came after Christ’s death.The early Christians were following traditions of Christ before ANYTHING was written about him

The early Christians were taught the faith by the epistles which were written during the time immediately after Christ's death,and are therefore contemporary to the beginning of the new church. Paul was selected to be the Catechist of the new church

Actually the gospels are Old Testament because they were written about a time when the Law was still in effect and before the declaration of the new testament and the death and resurrection of Christ .

They tell of the life of Jesus and that He kept the law perfectly for us..

There is no proof of that,best guess is that an Aramaic version of Matthew was written in the early 40's.

I agree the OT is fulfilled in the NT by what the Apostles saw in Christ. This does not change the fact that the NT was NOT written before Christ's death,but years after. The Jews don't see Christ as Messiah by the OT fulfillment either

Also, not every single thing in the NT can be traced to the OT
