New York exercised its fifth-year club options on cornerback Sauce Gardner, wide receiver Garrett Wilson and defensive end Jermaine Johnson., according to ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday. Gardner will make the most of the bunch with a $20.2 million salary for 2026, while Wilson and Johnson will earn $16.8 million and $13.4 million, respectively.

Cornerback Sauce Gardner, wide receiver Garrett Wilson and edge rusher Jermaine Johnson will have their fifth-year options picked up, Mougey said Monday during a pre-draft news conference. The trio were first-round picks in 2022 when Joe Douglas ran the Jets’ football department.

The New York Jets are making a pretty big -- and easy -- decision. The 2022 National Football League Draft was a pretty big one for the Jets, to say the least. New York had three picks in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft and selected Sauce Gardner at No.
