The New York Jets have signed fourth-year wide receiver Garrett Wilson to a four-year, $130 million extension with $90 Million Guaranteed after his fifth-year option, which Jets GM Darren Mougey will pick up. Including this upcoming season, Garrett Willson will stay with the Jets for the next six seasons with Gang Green. It also signals that the Jets will keep their drafted players.
Reported by Chris Bengal of CBS Sports.com, and getting the news from ESPN’s NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Wilson has appeared in all 51 possible games in his first three seasons since being selected with the No. 10 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Wilson has surpassed the 1,000-yard mark in each of those campaigns and is coming off a year with 101 catches for 1,104 yards and seven touchdowns — all career highs.
Wilson, who has led the Jets in receiving in each of his three seasons, is one of just five players in NFL history to register at least 1,000 receiving yards and 80-plus receptions in each of his first three seasons, joining Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, Odell Beckham Jr., and Michael Thomas.
Wilson’s 3,249 yards are the most among the 2022 draft class and the 10th-most in the NFL in that span. At a $32.5 million annual average salary, Wilson is now the fifth-highest paid receiver in the league behind Chase, Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb, and DK Metcalf.
Wilson has enjoyed a tremendous amount of success since entering the league despite inconsistent quarterback play. The former Ohio State standout has played with seven different quarterbacks with the Jets, including having Aaron Rodgers during the 2024 season. This upcoming season, Garrett Wilson will now be paired and reunited with his college Quarterback, Justin Fields.
