Where does Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson now rank among salaries?

USA Today16-07-2025
The New York Jets signed wide receiver Garrett Wilson to a four-year contract extension worth $130 million on Monday. The deal includes $90 million guaranteed. The Jets and Wilson's representation had been negotiating all offseason long. It's refreshing to see it get done ahead of training camp.
Wilson's extension marks the first time in NFL history that a receiver will average over $31 million in annual salary after playing only three seasons. With two years remaining on his rookie contract, fifth-year option included, Wilson now will be under contract for the next six campaigns, through 2030.
Once Wilson's extension officially kicks in, he'll average $32.5 million per season. That per year payday is the biggest contract in Jets history. Wilson will become the fifth-highest paid receiver in the NFL. Only Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, and CeeDee Lamb, DK Metcalf earn more than $32.5 million per season.
Meanwhile Wilson's $90 million in guarantees is fourth-largest among wideouts. Chase, Jefferson, and Lamb all possess $100 million or more in guarantees. The Jets showed no hesitancy to pay Wilson a premium.
Wilson posted career highs last season in receptions (101), receiving yards (1,104) and touchdowns (seven). Wilson is one of five receivers in NFL history to surpass 1,000 receiving yards and 80 receptions in each of his first three campaigns, per ESPN Stats & Info.

Jake Ferguson's $52 million contract exposes Cowboys' draft mistake

Jake Ferguson's new contract should be a happy day for the Cowboys front office. A fourth round pick turned into Dak Prescott's security blanket for the future. But beneath the high-fives and congratulations is an underhanded admittance that Dallas whiffed on a draft pick not too long ago. A year after Ferguson was drafted, the Cowboys selected tight end Luke Schoonmaker in the second round of the 2023 draft. At the time, Ferguson only had 19 receptions for 174 yards his rookie year. Dalton Schultz was the starter that season but the Cowboys moved on from him. Schoonmaker, out of the University of Michigan, was expected to be an excellent blocking and pass-catching tight end. Instead it was Ferguson who stood out as a secure target over the middle while Schoonmaker struggled. The former Wolverine only had 27 receptions for 241 yards and one touchdown last season. He hasn't proven worthy of a second round investment. The Ferguson contract shows the Cowboys front office is admitting defeat on Schoonmaker. He has two years left on his rookie deal and still has a chance to prove himself, but Ferguson has taken the mantle as the primary tight end. It will take an injury or catastrophic shift if Dallas was to ever view Schoonmaker as a good pick. It's a rare miss for a front office that has drafted some elite talent.

Bangladesh Offers to Buy Boeing Planes to Sway Trump on Tariffs

Bangladesh has offered to buy 25 jets from Boeing Co., using the recent US-Indonesia trade deal as a model, in hopes of persuading President Donald Trump to lower tariffs on the country. 'We have made commitments that are maintainable for us. The Boeing purchase is part of that,' Commerce Secretary Mahbubur Rahman said in an interview with Bloomberg News on Sunday, ahead of his departure to Washington. 'If they compare our offer with others, we should get a better deal.'

100 NFL Players Busted For Selling Super Bowl LIX Tickets, Social Media Snitches

Source: Kevin Sabitus / Getty Super Bowl LIX was a hot ticket. Maybe too hot for some NFL players and employees. More than a hundred are set to be fined and/or lose their allocation for the next two Super Bowls after league sources revealed they sold their tickets for more than face value. 'Our initial investigation has determined that a number of NFL players and coaches, employed by several NFL Clubs, sold Super Bowl tickets for more than the ticket's face value in violation of the policy,' NFL chief compliance officer Sabrina Perel said in a memo sent out to all 32 NFL teams. The 100 players represent a little over 6% of the entire NFL player rosters. But per an ESPN report, there are team employees, including coaches, who are among the number who sold their tickets. 'This long-standing League Policy, which is specifically incorporated into the Collective Bargaining Agreement, prohibits League or Club employees, including players, from selling NFL game tickets acquired from their employer for more than the ticket's face value or for an amount greater than the employee originally paid for the ticket, whichever is less,' the memo continued. Players and team personnel sold the tickets to 'bundlers' who were working with resellers, per the memo. Penalties will increase for anyone deemed to be working with the bundlers to help facilitate sales. Fines would be one and a half times what the player or employee sold the ticket for, and they would lose the chance to acquire them for the next two Super Bowls. There could also be suspensions involved. Some of the players involved have already elected to pay the fines. Those who lose their allotment would only be able to purchase tickets if they are playing in the Super Bowl. The league would not release names of players, coaches or team personnel who were part of the crackdown. Tickets for Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, which resulted in a 40-22 win for the Philadelphia Eagles vs. the Kansas City Chiefs, ranged in cost from $2,588 to nearly $3,500 for the cheapest seats. On the high end, some tickets were more than $10,000.
