Sauce Gardner just became the highest-paid CB in NFL history

The New York Jets and All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner have agreed to terms on a massive 4-year, $120.4 million extension, making him the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history at $30.1 million per year, according to The Insiders. This deal makes complete sense for both sides - the Jets are in win-now mode with Aaron Rodgers, and Gardner has already proven he can shut down elite receivers at just 24 years old. When you find a corner who can genuinely take away half the field, you pay him whatever it takes. That said, $30.1 million per year is a staggering number that will reset the entire cornerback market. It shows the Jets are serious about competing, but it also puts pressure on their ability to build around this massive contract. What do you think - is Sauce worth breaking the bank for, or does this kind of money at the CB position make it harder to build a complete team? #NFL #Jets #SauceGardner
