The New York Jets locked up cornerback Sauce Gardner with a four-year, $120.4 million contract extension, making him the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. The deal includes $60 million guaranteed. This follows a similar extension for wide receiver Garrett Wilson. Gardner, the 2022 Defensive Rookie of the Year, had a down year in 2024, but the Jets clearly believe in his potential for a return to form.
