Sauce Gardner Delayed Jets Deal to Let Garrett Wilson Have His Moment. They Want More Wins Together

BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY, JUL 22 – Sauce Gardner became the NFL's highest-paid cornerback by signing a $120.4 million deal after delaying his contract announcement to honor Garrett Wilson's $130 million extension.

  • On Tuesday, Sauce Gardner asked the Jets to delay his contract finalization by a day, aiming to let teammate Garrett Wilson enjoy his spotlight, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reported.
  • Last Monday, Garrett Wilson agreed to a four-year, $130 million extension, officially signing the deal four days later.
  • His four-year, $120.4 million extension includes an $85.653 million guarantee, making him the highest-paid cornerback by average annual value.
  • In a show of long-term planning, the Jets made commitments to two foundation players as GM Darren Mougey and coach Aaron Glenn focus on future success.
  • These extensions commit both players to the Jets through at least the 2030 season, starting after the 2026 season, as reported by Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.
