The New York Jets are ready to get the 2025 NFL season started. There is still some time to go until the league kicks off the schedule, but we've arrived at step one: Training camp. The Jets hit the field for the first time, extensively, this week. First things first as it pertains to camp: Players have to arrive at the team facility.

But as the Jets reported to training camp this week, Gardner admitted he didn’t agree to the contract right away. Not because he was having second thoughts. Not because he needed to sleep on it after being offered $30.1 million per year, pushing him past the Texans’ Derek Stingley for the highest annual value ever at his position.
