Gardner’s $30.1 million per-year average on the deal edges out Derek Stingley Jr.’s $30 million annually from the Texans.
“THE DEAL IS DONE,” Gardner wrote on X. “This only the beginning. … I appreciate the Jets organization for believing in me, my teammates for the blood, sweat, & tears we put in, and JETS NATION… I appreciate y’all supporting me. Thank you GOD.”
Gardner, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, burst onto the scene as a rookie, quickly establishing himself as one of the top corners in the league — taking home NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.
