The Detroit Lions picked up Jameson Williams’ fifth-year option earlier this offseason, locking in a $15.5 million price tag for 2026. That was the easy part. The hard part—the one Detroit might not even want to solve—is figuring out what it will cost to keep him beyond that.
And the answer, thanks to Garrett Wilson, just got a whole lot worse.
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the New York Jets just handed Wilson a four-year, $130 million deal. That’s $32.5 million per season. Williams is coming off a breakout season, led the league in yards per catch among qualified wideouts, and is just now hitting his stride.
