FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Cornerback Sauce Gardner, wide receiver Garrett Wilson and defensive end Jermaine Johnson -- the New York Jets' first-round picks in 2022 -- will have their fifth-year options exercised in the coming days, general manager Darren Mougey said Monday.
Gardner and Wilson were no-brainers; Gardner is a two-time All Pro and Wilson has three straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons. The only question involved Johnson, who missed 15 games last season due to Achilles tendon surgery. But he's progressing well in his rehab, and he showed enough in 2023 (7.5 sacks) to solidify the team's decision.
