SNY’s Connor Hughes said that is “sounds like” extension talks for Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson will be a “post-draft topic” for the Jets.

The Jets drafted Wilson (No. 10 overall) and Gardner (No. 4 overall) in the 2022 NFL Draft, both players will almost assuredly have their fifth-year options picked up. That means the Jets will be negotiating from a position of strength with two years of rights in hand. There were trade rumors around Wilson late last season, but they seem to have dissipated since the team parted ways with Aaron Rodgers. We expect these talks to drag out through the remainder of the offseason as extension talks often find a natural deadline right before the start of the season, but Wilson and Gardner are players the Jets should be building around.
