Sauce Gardner signed a four-year contract extension worth $120.4 million, becoming the NFL's highest-paid cornerback. Despite a down season in 2024, where he received more penalties and lower performance metrics, Gardner remained confident. He acknowledged public criticism but emphasized self-critique as a stronger influence. His previous success included being named first-team All-Pro in his initial two seasons, establishing his skill level in the league. Gardner is committed to the Jets through 2030, marking a significant milestone in his career.
I'm Sauce. I mean that in the most humble way. Like no matter what I do, they're going to make a huge deal out of it.
I can miss a tackle. There's a lot of people that miss tackles, but I just understand that I'm me.
By most statistical metrics, Gardner didn't perform as well as he did in 2022 and 2023, when he became the first cornerback to be named first-team All-Pro.
Nobody's a bigger critic of me than myself, so it's not something that throws me off guard.
