Sauce Gardner pulled classy move after signing new contract with Jets

New York Jets star cornerback Sauce Gardner had an admirable gesture for one of his teammates after he agreed to a massive contract extension last week.

News surfaced last Tuesday that Gardner had agreed to a 4-year, $120.4 million extension with the Jets. The contract made Gardner the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history.

A day prior, the Jets signed star wide receiver Garrett Wilson to a new 4-year, $130 million deal. Both Wilson and Garrett were first-round picks in 2022, and New York signed the players to extensions on back-to-back days.

Or maybe not.

As it turns out, Gardner agreed to his extension with the Jets on the same day that Garrett signed. Gardner said on Tuesday that he kept his deal under wraps at first because he did not want to take any attention away from his teammate.
