Gardner: Jets Coaching Trying to Get 'Perfection' Out of Him

Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner attended the team's three-day mandatory minicamp in Florham Park on June 10-13, 2025 while seeking a contract extension.
Gardner became eligible for an extension after the Jets picked up his fifth-year option this offseason, amid a rapidly rising cornerback market.
Gardner, a two-time All-Pro and top player, said he feels good about contract talks with the Jets and aims to change the organization by pushing teammates.
Gardner wants to be the highest-paid cornerback, targeting a deal near $30 million annually, aligning with contracts such as Derek Stingley's $30 million per year extension.
Gardner's extension would reinforce the Jets' focus on retaining core talent and boosting winning consistency, as he and Garrett Wilson view themselves as building blocks for the team's future.
