New York Jets newly appointed head coach Aaron Glenn is prioritizing strong relationships with foundational players like Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson. Both players are eligible for contract extensions after their third season, reflecting a shift in NFL dynamics where early contracts for first-round picks are becoming more common. General Manager Darren Mougey indicates intentions to secure these talents promptly. As teams seek to maintain competitive rosters, pressure mounts for timely negotiations with promising young players, suggesting a proactive franchise strategy for the future.
"The to-do list is to keep good young players on the team and add good players," Mougey said at the scouting combine this week, commenting on whether it's realistic to extend Gardner and Wilson.
Leaguewide, it's uncommon for former first-round picks at corner and wide receiver to land extensions before their fourth season, but the times they are a-changin'.
