Sauce Gardner of the New York Jets is now a very rich young man. The cornerback was entering the final season, not counting the team's option year, of his rookie deal, but he no longer has to worry about his future or the future of his family. Gardner reportedly agreed to a four-year extension with the Jets that will pay him $120.4 million, half of which is guaranteed.
That is great for the Jets, but what about the Seattle Seahawks and Devon Witherspoon? While Seattle general manager John Schneider does not have to worry about working out an extension with Witherspoon for another year, the cornerback now has a financial floor to strive for.
