FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- When New York Jets coach Aaron Glenn was 25, like Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson are now, he signed a five-year, $19.3 million contract extension with the Jets. That was huge money in 1997. It made him the second-highest paid cornerback, behind Deion Sanders.
Based on his experience as a player and coach, Glenn knows the importance of locking in young talent. Gardner and Wilson signed four-year extensions (through 2030) for $120.4 million and $130 million, respectively, last week.
Now, what? New York has a handful of other extension-worthy candidates, namely Breece Hall, Jermaine Johnson, Alijah Vera-Tucker and Quincy Williams.
