Insider predicts which New York Jets stars receive contract extensions, including Sauce Gardner
The New York Jets are a team in transition led by first-year head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey. With a roster centered around a young core of Garrett Wilson, Breece Hall and Sauce Gardner, only a few may receive contract extensions from the new regime. Asked to weigh in on the situation, Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated said he thinks Gardner and Wilson would receive real consideration for extensions right now and both deals could get done. However, a new deal for Hall isn't nearly as likely. Advertisement Related: New York Jets' Allen lazard's stance on playing for Pittsburgh Steelers, Aaron Rodgers 'If I had to guess, Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson would be considered for extensions now—and I do think there's a chance at least Gardner and maybe Wilson still get done. With Breece Hall, I think they'd explore it, but signing a back long-term can be tricky. I think with Johnson coming off an injury, they'll probably play it out, knowing they can tag him if he plays to his potential. Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer on future contract extensions for New York Jets stars Both Wilson and Gardner would likely command deals that would make them among the highest-paid NFL players at their respective positions. Even coming off a down year, Gardner could push for $30 million annually given his track record as a two-time All-Pro selection. Garrett Wilson stats (2024): 101 receptions, 1,104 receiving yards, 7 touchdowns While Wilson hasn't received a Pro Bowl selection since being selected with the 10th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, he's delivered three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons despite poor quarterback play. As with cornerbacks, the going rate for No. 1 receivers is now pushing toward $30 million annually. Related: Jets insider sheds light on likely cost of Sauce Gardner contract extension Sauce Gardner stats (2024): 86.9 QB rating, 541 receiving yards, 15.4 yards per completion allowed on 58 targets in 15 games Advertisement Wilson and Gardner have both showcased the talent and durability to be building blocks for the Jets' future. The same can't be said for Hall. While he is coming off consecutive campaigns with over 1,300 scrimmage yards, long-term durability remains a concern and he ranked 39th in true yards per carry (4.0) last season. Furthermore, Hall seemed to be floated in trade rumors this offseason and the Jets at the very least scouted the rookie running back class. While contract extensions seem likely for Gardner and Wilson, Hall will have to prove himself to receive a long-term deal.
