New York Jets GM Darren Mougey confirmed the team will exercise the fifth-year contract options for key players Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson, and Jermaine Johnson, solidifying them as foundational pieces for the franchise. Gardner, a two-time All-Pro, along with Wilson and Johnson, who was a Pro Bowl selection before his injury, have shone in a challenging era for the Jets. As the team heads into the NFL draft, with the 7th overall pick, discussions about contract extensions are on hold until after the draft. Meanwhile, the Jets have signed Justin Fields as the starting quarterback, signaling a shift in focus for the team’s future.
