“Jets rewarding great ambassadors to the organization. Garrett Wilson is a tier 1 human and teammate, someone you want to build around. Well deserved,” NFL analyst Will Parkinson said on social media.

“This is also Garrett Wilson committing to this new regime — a belief in the culture Aaron Glenn is establishing in these early days.

[Aaron] Glenn, [Darren] Mougey and ownership has made it clear, both publicly and privately, how much they value Garrett and that matters to him,” Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic posted.

“1 – About time the #Jets acted early and not late with a young cornerstone player. 2 – Considering timing of when contract extension kicks in, this is a very good AAV number for #Jets and skews closer to a team friendly deal than a player friendly deal. 3 – First signature move for new regime who clearly sold him properly on direction organization is moving. 4 – Incredibly easy player to root for on and off field,” Jets analyst Joe Caporoso explained on social.

Wilson’s Teammates React to His Historic Deal

“Well deserved 🙌🏽,” Jets cornerback Michael Carter II reacted to the Wilson extension.

Jets running back Breece Hall reposted several posts congratulating Wilson on his record-breaking deal.

“Oweeeeeee! 🔥🔥🔥,” Jets offensive lineman John Simpson posted.

Even former Jets teammate D.J. Reed talked about the Wilson news on social media.

“My brother lit for life.! Much deserved🙏🏾❤️.!”
