The Jets recently gave a contract extension to wide receiver Garrett Wilson. Last week in our SB Nation Reacts poll we asked for the thoughts of the Jets fanbase.

Based on the result, it is clear that the fanbase likes the move a lot.

An ongoing issue for the Jets over the last 25 years has been retaining top talent. Time after time, contract negotiations with the team’s best players have been overly dramatic. It has led to the departure of high end talent. But even when the team and player finally

agree on a deal, there has frequently been too much drama in the leadup.

This extension along with Sauce Gardner’s was a rare example of the Jets being proactive to get a deal done with a good player. Wilson wasn’t set to be a free agent for another two seasons, but now he will be with the team through his prime.
