The New York Jets are making Sauce Gardner the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL.
The Jets and Gardner agreed on a four-year, $120.4 million extension through the 2030 season, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the agreement had not been announced.
Gardner took to social media to report "THE DEAL IS DONE" and thank his agents for making that happen.
"This only the beginning," Gardner posted. "I appreciate the Jets organization for believing in me, my teammates for the blood, sweat (and) tears we put in.
