2022 NFL Draft: Contract details released for Garrett Wilson, New York Jets

Former Ohio State wide receiver Garrett Wilson became the second wide receiver off the board in the 2022 NFL Draft when the New York Jets selected him in the top 10. The lifelong dream now turns into generational wealth as Spotrac revealed the details of his rookie deal with the team.

According to Spotrac, Garrett Wilson should sign a four-year $20.5 million contract with New York Jets after his selection. The deal would also include a $12.1 million signing bonus and a fifth-year team option, as all first-round picks do.

The deal is also fully guaranteed and includes a 2022 cap hit of just $3.7 million.

Wilson was part of a three-headed monster in Ohio State’s receiving room last year, but he established himself firmly as a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft and eventually went ahead of teammate Chris Olave. The New York Jets just made that a reality, selecting Wilson with the No. 10 overall pick in the NFL Draft before Olave went at No. 11.

Per the On3 Consensus, Wilson an Austin, Texas native was ranked as the No. 2 wide receiver in the 2019 recruiting class and the No. 19 player overall in the country. He was rated five-stars.
