Garrett Wilson isn't going anywhere. The New York Jets signed the 24-year-old wide receiver to a four-year, $130 million contract extension, with $90 million guaranteed. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter , Wilson has made history by becoming the first receiver to average over $31 million per year after playing just three seasons.
Wilson is now under contract through 2030 and becomes the fifth-highest paid wide receiver, averaging $32.5 million annually.

The move comes under the new regime of general manager Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn .
The 10th overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft has emerged as one of the top young receivers in the game. Despite a tumultuous 2024 season with Aaron Rodgers under center, Wilson posted career highs in receptions (101), receiving yards (1,104) and touchdowns (seven). It marked Wilson's third consecutive season with 1,000-plus receiving yards.
Wilson has recorded 279 receptions for 3,249 yards and 14 touchdowns in his three seasons with the Jets.
The Jets will now turn their attention to extending Wilson's teammate from the 2022 draft class — cornerback Sauce Gardner .
