He then chose to defer a contract offer making him the NFL's highest-paid cornerback to ensure Wilson enjoyed his moment. Gardner officially signed a four-year, $120.4 million deal the following day. Wilson expressed confidence in turning around the Jets despite previous struggles, appreciating the new management's belief in him, underscoring their commitment to a successful future together as a team.
"I told my team, 'We're not agreeing to it today,'" Gardner said, highlighting his decision to let Wilson have his moment before finalizing his own deal.
"I've always kept my faith that this thing's going to turn around and I'm going to be a big part of why it does," Wilson expressed his confidence in the future of the Jets.
"... for them to still come in here and believe in me and say, 'Hey, we think you can be a part of this successful side of this thing for years to come' is awesome," Wilson shared his appreciation for the new regime's trust.
