NextImg:Jets give historic $120.4 million contract to Sauce Gardner a day after Garrett Wilson extension

Gang Green is now two-for-two.

The Jets agreed to a four-year, $120.4 million contract extension with Sauce Gardner on Tuesday, a deal that makes the 24-year-old the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history and comes with a reported $60 million guaranteed

The deal comes a day after the team handed a four-year, $130 million extension with receiver Garrett Wilson, locking up the pair of cornerstone players through 2030.

Gardner’s $30.1 million per-year average on the deal edges out Derek Stingley Jr.’s $30 million annually from the Texans.

“THE DEAL IS DONE,” Gardner wrote on X. “This only the beginning. … I appreciate the Jets organization for believing in me, my teammates for the blood, sweat, & tears we put in, and JETS NATION… I appreciate y’all supporting me. Thank you GOD.”

Gardner, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, burst onto the scene as a rookie, quickly establishing himself as one of the top corners in the league — taking home NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

While his play took a step back in his second season, he cemented himself as one of the highest-ranked players at his position during his third season in 2024.

He’s a two-time Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro and the Jets are making sure he stay in the fold.
