Overview

  • The four-year, $130 million contract includes a $13.75 million signing bonus, $20 million and $10 million option bonuses in the second and third years, and $90 million in guaranteed money.
  • With a $32.5 million average annual value, Wilson becomes the NFL’s fifth-highest-paid receiver and the first to top a $31 million average after three seasons.
  • Since entering the league as the Jets’ 10th overall pick in 2022, Wilson has recorded at least 80 receptions and 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first three campaigns despite rotating quarterbacks.
  • The extension under first-year coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey signals New York’s commitment to building around its 2022 draft class.
  • With Wilson locked in through 2030, the Jets will now focus on negotiating a similar long-term deal for cornerback Sauce Gardner.
