Jets face urgency to extend contracts for key players

nj.com

The New York Jets face pressure to secure contract extensions for key players Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner after recent record-breaking deals in the NFL. The Bengals signed Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to lucrative contracts, while the Texans made Derek Stingley the highest-paid defensive back. These developments increase the urgency for the Jets to act, as the market for top players is rising. Waiting could lead to higher costs for Wilson and Gardner, who are expected to command significant salaries based on recent contracts. The Jets have options to control both players for the next few years, but delaying decisions may not be wise. The team must weigh the benefits of locking in their young stars against the potential for escalating prices.
