Garrett Wilsonhas already established himself as one of the top young receivers in the NFL, and the former first-round pick has now earned a massive contract extension.
According to multiple reports, Wilson and the Jets have agreed to a four-year extension worth $130 million, with $90 million guaranteed, keeping Wilson with the team through the 2030 season.
Selected 10th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, Wilson has eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark in all three of his pro seasons, despite catching passes from a revolving door of quarterbacks. Wilson, who turns 25 next week, is coming off of his best pro season, catching 101 passes for 1,104 yards and seven touchdowns.
Wilson burst onto the scene in 2022, earning AP Offensive Rookie of the Year honors after hauling in 83 passes for 1,103 yards, and four touchdowns. He's also made a name for himself by making highlight-reel catches, like his one-handed touchdown grab against the Houston Texans this past season.
