NEW YORK — The New York Jets are making Sauce Gardner the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL.

The New York Jets hired head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey to end the 14-year playoff drought and the organization's prolonged date with futility. They won't be the first administration tasked with doing so. They may not be the last. In the meantime, they are hoping to prove that these aren't the same old Jets.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Jets reached an agreement with star cornerback Sauce Gardner on a four-year, $120.4 million contract extension on Tuesday. The deal includes $85.6 million guaranteed, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
