The New York Jets made a massive statement on Wednesday, officially locking up superstar wide receiver Garrett Wilson with a blockbuster contract extension. The deal, which puts Wilson among the league's highest-paid pass-catchers, ends any speculation about his future and solidifies him as the cornerstone of the offense for years to come.
Garrett Wilson is projected to earn $32.5 million annually under the new deal, making him one of the highest-paid receivers in the NFL.
In a move that sent waves of relief and excitement through the fanbase, the Jets secured their top offensive weapon for the foreseeable future. The extension, reportedly worth $32.5 million per year, rewards Wilson for a career-high season and ensures the team's returning quarterback has his favorite target locked in. This proactive move eliminates a potential training camp distraction and signals a clear commitment to building around young, homegrown talent. As one analyst put it, expect Wilson to be 'a happy camper' this season, with production likely to climb even higher.
Just as the ink was drying on Wilson's contract, the team gave fans another reason to get excited by announcing the 2025 public training camp schedule. The action kicks off on July 22, with the first practice open to the public slated for Friday, July 25, at 8:30 a.m. The earlier start times and increased fan engagement opportunities mark a welcome change, and the grounds at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center are sure to be buzzing with fans eager to see their newly-paid receiver and the rest of the squad.
The road ahead won't be easy. The Jets' early 2025 schedule is daunting, featuring four playoff teams from last season within the first six games. However, a significant development has emerged for their Week 3 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs will likely be without All-Pro tackle Tristan Wirfs due to injury, potentially opening the door for the Jets' dynamic pass-rushing duo of Jermaine Johnson and Will McDonald to wreak havoc. This key injury could tip the scales in a crucial early-season contest and provide a much-needed edge.
With Garrett Wilson's future secured and the training camp schedule officially set, the offseason buzz is reaching a fever pitch. All eyes will now turn to the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center on July 25th, when fans get their first glimpse of their newly-paid superstar and a team ready to tackle a challenging 2025 campaign head-on.
