The New York Jets are set to exercise the fifth-year options for their 2022 first-round picks: cornerback Sauce Gardner, wide receiver Garrett Wilson, and defensive end Jermaine Johnson. Gardner's two-time All-Pro status and Wilson's three straight seasons with over 1,000 yards made their options certain; however, Johnson's previous injury raised questions. Johnson's performance recovery has led to this decision. All options guarantee substantial salaries for 2026, with extensions for Gardner and Wilson under consideration. General manager Darren Mougey remained tight-lipped on the implications of Aaron Rodgers' remarks on coaching respect issues.
The New York Jets will exercise the fifth-year options for first-round picks Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson, and Jermaine Johnson, signaling confidence in their future.
General manager Darren Mougey highlighted Gardner and Wilson's outstanding performances, noting their consistency, while Johnson's recovery from injury impacted the final decision.
