00:00All right, Jeff fans, I am so freaking happy we just signed Garrett Wilson to a four-year, $132 million extension, keeping him with us until 2030.
00:14I can't tell you how important this is.
00:17With what we're doing right now with the new staff, a new OC in Tanner Engstrand, with a new quarterback in Justin Fields, maybe a new quarterback next year, without a wide receiver two, with a rookie tight end that we're depending on a ton in, Garrett Wilson's the stable in that entire pass-catching operation.
00:41He is the most important element to what we need to do offensively.
00:45And the fact that last year there were a lot of murmurs that he is not happy here, he doesn't want to stay here, he might be looking to get traded, that's not the case anymore.
00:58Garrett Wilson will be a New York Jet for the foreseeable future, and I could not be any happier.
01:04Now, people are talking online about how much he's making, yes, he's making $32.5 million per year, which puts him fifth in the NFL in terms of highest paid wide receivers in terms of AAV and total value.
01:19The receivers ahead of Garrett Wilson are your first, Jamar Chase, second, Justin Jefferson, third, CeeDee Lamb, fourth, DK Metcalf.
01:27I think Garrett deserves to be there. I do. Why? The importance of what he brings to the table.
01:36The Jets, we can't score. We cannot figure out how to get a formidable passing game.
01:42We don't have any wide receivers on this roster that we can look forward to.
01:46We don't really have any tight ends outside of the rookie that you can really say are high upside pass catchers.
01:53Garrett Wilson had to be here, and he will be here.
01:58And if you want a little stat, because people, they don't really love his game as much as I do,
02:04because I can go eye test and show you all the freaking clips and highlights and game footage and all 22 stuff that'll show you how explosive and unique Garrett is,
02:13I'll give you a stat.
02:15But to start his career, Garrett Wilson's one of five receivers ever that, in his first three seasons, has at least 80 catches and 1,000 yards.
02:27On that list, you only have Odell Beckham, Michael Thomas, Justin Jefferson, and Jamar Chase.
02:33And fifth is Garrett Wilson, only one of five receivers ever to start their first three years in the NFL with at least 80 catches and 1,000 yards.
02:43Now, consider the quarterbacks that he's had.
02:49Michael Thomas had Drew Brees.
02:51Jamar Chase has Joe Burrow.
02:53Jefferson had Cousins, Darnold.
02:56Who's Garrett Wilson had?
02:58Zach Wilson?
03:00Joe Flacco?
03:01Aaron Rodgers?
03:04An old Aaron Rodgers?
03:06Garrett Wilson's phenomenal.
03:08Garrett Wilson is changing the way that we're thinking about our offense today.
03:13And tomorrow.
03:14Garrett Wilson's gonna help us bring in talent next year.
03:19Garrett Wilson's gonna help either Justin Fields or a rookie quarterback next year.
03:23This was more important than anything else we could have done this offseason.
03:27I know now the ticker's on the Sauce Gardner deal.
03:30I understand that.
03:32This was more important.
03:34The offense here is more important.
03:37We can figure defense out.
03:38Aaron Glenn's a defensive coach.
03:40Steve Wilson's a defensive coach.
03:42Garrett Wilson allows us to score points.
03:45And that's something that we have not been able to do for a very long time.
03:50Kudos to Aaron Glenn.
03:52Kudos to the Johnson family.
03:54Darren Muge, our new GM.
03:56And Tanner Angstrand, I'm sure, had something to do with this.
03:59This was something that needed to be done.
04:00It was done.
04:02Jet fans, rejoice.
04:03Let's go.
04:04Let's score some touchdowns.
04:05Let's score some points.
04:06Let's win some games.
04:07Let's go, baby.
04:08Hey, great job by new Jets GM Darren Muge.
04:12This new regime coming in here, locking up Garrett Wilson.
04:16The timing is perfect right before players report by the end of the week.
04:20So that's a feel-good story going into training camp with the fellas.
04:24Locking up one of your core culture pieces.
04:28Four years, buck $30 million extension.
04:31One of the highest paid receivers in the league now because he deserves it.
04:36The boy has put in all types of work.
04:38So he's getting paid for the work that he's already put in and the projected work that he's going to continue to put in.
04:46Production-wise, numbers-wise.
04:48But if you really love him, you would find him or a true number two receiver will emerge by the end of camp.
05:00You'll give Justin Fields one, but you'll also give another option on the opposite side of Garrett Wilson.
05:09So he doesn't have to get double throughout the entire game.
05:15Somebody can take that heat off.
05:16So Malachi Corley, Josh Reynolds, Arian Smith, Alan Lazard.
05:23It's there for one of you guys.
05:25It's there to take that heat off of Garrett Wilson so he doesn't have to force his greatness onto the game.
05:31The game can just come to him naturally.
05:33But that's a different story for a different day.
