The disrespect for Sauce Gardner has officially hit comical levels as the New York Jets approach their Week 1 opener this Sunday. The Gardner hate train is quickly becoming the NFL's most laughable narrative.
The Jets rewarded Gardner with a historic four-year, $120.4 million extension earlier this summer that made him the highest-paid cornerback in league history. It was a well-deserved honor for a player whose on-field performance supports the fact that he's one of the most valuable non-QBs in the sport.
But clearly not everyone agrees. In a recent article from Bleacher Report's Brad Gagnon, Gardner was named to the fictional "NFL All-Overpaid Team" as his position group's representative.
