Overview

  • Jets wideout Garrett Wilson secured a four-year, $130 million extension with a $32.5 million average annual value.
  • McLaurin has gone more than a month without a new offer, entering the final year of a three-year, $69.6 million contract.
  • He was fined $104,768 for skipping mandatory minicamp and has not confirmed attendance at training camp next week.
  • The 29-year-old has posted five straight 1,000-yard seasons and earned second-team All-Pro honors in 2024.
  • Citing benchmark deals for peers like Justin Jefferson, AJ Brown and Ja’Marr Chase, he is seeking an average annual value north of $30 million.
