The New York Jets have officially agreed to a historic four-year contract extension with star defensive back Sauce Gardner. The deal will make him the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL and is reportedly worth $120.4 million. As a result, this once again resets the cornerback market. Jaycee Horn of the Carolina Panthers and Derek Stingley Jr. of the Houston Texans also received new deals this offseason. Gardner is now committed to the Jets for the next six seasons and will be owed $60 million guaranteed. New York knows they have a premier cornerback in their secondary. Sauce Gardner is clearly a part of their long-term plans as they try to regain relevance in the AFC East and look toward a new era.
