Ahmad Gardner, the fourth pick in the 2022 NFL draft, has signed his rookie contract with the Jets.
Gardner’s fully-guaranteed, four-year rookie deal is worth $38.7 million and includes a $25.3 million signing bonus, according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini. Gardner’s contract also includes the standard fifth-year option for first round draft picks.
Gardner is the quickest Jets’ first-round pick to sign his rookie contract in the last 40 years, beating out Leonard Williams, who signed on May 8, 2015, by one day. Williams signed eight days after the conclusion of the draft, while Gardner signed 10 days post-draft.
