On Monday, New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson received a well-deserved payday. I can’t think of many players who embody loyalty and dedication more within the Jets organization, so keeping the fourth-year wideout in Florham Park was clearly a priority for new GM Darren Mougey.
After eclipsing 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first three seasons in the NFL, the Ohio State product just edged out A.J. Brown to become the league’s fifth-highest-paid receiver in AAV (behind only Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb, and DK Metcalf).
Selected No. 10 in the 2022 NFL Draft, Wilson joined Sauce Gardner in receiving a lucrative payday to stay home.
