Sauce Gardner

Sauce Gardner told The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt that he feels “pretty good” about how his contract extension conversations have been going with the Jets’ front office.

The Jets exercised Gardner’s fifth-year option in April, keeping their No. 1 cornerback under contract through 2026. The Jets appear willing to extend his contract this offseason, though, and Gardner has amenably chosen not to hold out. A new deal should get done at some point this summer.
