Jets GM Darren Mougey announced that he expects the team to exercise fifth-year options for first-round picks Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson, and Jermaine Johnson from the 2022 NFL Draft. The deadline for this decision is May 1. Gardner's option guarantees him $20.1 million, Wilson $16.8 million, and Johnson $13.4 million. There's a possibility for long-term extensions for Gardner and Wilson post-draft, while Johnson's performance following his Achilles injury may affect his contract prospects.
"I anticipate exercising those fifth-year options on those players."
"The option for Gardner means he'll get a guaranteed salary of $20.1 million in 2026."
