The Jacksonville Jaguars got ahead of the curve when they gave cornerback Tyson Campbell a contract extension in 2024. The decision raised eyebrows at the time because he was paid a premium despite the fact that he had never earned a Pro Bowl or All-Pro designation. However, the deal looks much better in light of the Sauce Gardner news.
The New York Jets just made Gardner the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL, giving him a deal that pays him an average of $30.1 million a year.
Gardner's deal surpasses the one fellow cornerback Derek Stingley Jr.
