Jets Lock In Garrett Wilson with Record-Breaking Extension
The New York Jets and star wide receiver Garrett Wilson have agreed to a blockbuster four-year, $130 million contract extension, including $90 million guaranteed. This historic deal marks the first time in NFL history that a receiver has earned an average annual salary exceeding $31 million after just three seasons.
Wilson, a key piece of the Jets’ offensive future, is now secured with the team through the 2030 season. The extension reflects his rapid rise as one of the league’s elite talents and underscores the Jets’ commitment to building around their young star.
His dynamic play and chemistry with quarterback Zach Wilson have revitalized the Jets’ offense, making him a fan favorite and a key piece of the franchise’s future.
Wilson’s contract doesn’t just reshape the Jets’ roster—it redefines the market for wide receivers league-wide. His $32.5 million average annual salary surpasses recent extensions for players like Justin Jefferson and A.J. Brown, setting a new benchmark for young receivers who prove their worth early in their careers. This deal reflects the NFL’s growing emphasis on the passing game and the premium placed on elite talent at the wide receiver position.
For Jets fans, this extension is a rare moment of optimism in what has been a difficult couple of years and a sign that the team is finally investing in its future.
