The New York Jets rewarded star cornerback Sauce Gardner with a record-setting contract — a four-year, $120.4 million extension, sources said Tuesday.
The contract includes $85.653 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The two-time All-Pro becomes the NFL’s highest-paid cornerback, based on average salary per year ($30.1 million). He surpasses Houston Texans star Derek Stingley Jr., who received a three-year, $90 million extension in March. Stingley was drafted third overall in 2022, one spot ahead of Gardner.
