The mood Aaron Rodgers been in this season, no one should have been at the end of it. Especially if you are WR Garrett Wilson trying to improve on your chemistry with the diva phase of A-Rod. Guess they are still working because the Big Apple’s apples have fallen. Their playoff drought continues with the 4-10 record so far. Typical, ‘We go again, next season,’ vibes from the Gang.

However, it hasn’t been all doom and gloom for Garrett Wilson. Sure, the Jets brought in Davante Adams, but let’s be real—replicating the Rodgers-Adams chemistry was a long shot. Despite the odds, the 24-year-old Wilson has still managed to shine, racking up 84 catches for 933 yards and 6 touchdowns in just 14 games. It’s enough to earn him the name he deserves. But let’s see if it has been enough ‘impact’ to increase his worth in terms of big bucks.

Impact might be a little too big of a word, too early. But don’t sleep on Garrett Wilson. See, we’ll put it as it is: it’s not an easy feat to achieve 1000+ yds every single pro season since 2022 (and he might do so year, as well with just 67 yards to go). Safe to say, no one’s hitting snooze on Wilson’s talent. And neither are brands like Pepsi and Oakley.

They know the game here. These brands know when the young gun is about to reach for the stars… they don’t wait for him to hit it. They get in behind him since day 1. Wilson’s that breed, you see, with endorsement deals boosting his off-field earnings.

In 2023, he starred in a Pepsi Zero Sugar campaign, where his charm struck a chord with fans. Add in his appearances in NFL commercials and an Oakley ad, and it’s clear he’s cashing in on his growing appeal.

What’s your perspective on:

Can Garrett Wilson's rising star power save the Jets from their never-ending playoff drought?

Have an interesting take?

These deals, coupled with performance incentives, have pushed his estimated net worth to around $2 million. Of course, that figure is only climbing—especially when you factor in his NFL salary, the biggest piece of the puzzle.

How much is the Jets WR’s salary?

Now, the main topic: his contract. Well, Garrett Wilson put pen to paper on a rookie deal. No messing about there! But he cannot argue that it’s solid. Secure, too. The best for any rookie to get is security coming out of the college grind, and the Jets provided him with that. Firstly, by guaranteeing entire salary throughout the years he is here in New York. Then, an option to retain Wilson an additional year.

He signed on for four years at $20.55 million, with a hefty $12.1 million signing bonus to sweeten the pot. That’s the dream, right? But a deserving one. I mean, the best part is that it’s gonna increase every year. So, like we mentioned, his net worth might fluctuate every year as well.

So, what’s the breakdown? He started with $705K (2022), and by the final year of his deal in 2025, he’ll rake in over $8.4 million. Not bad for a 24-year-old still on the rise. And the Jets? They’ve got a gem in Wilson, so don’t expect them to let him hit free agency without a fight. There’s a reason why experts rave about his athleticism and route-running, calling him a star in the making. By 2026, whether he’s on a new contract or testing free agency waters, don’t worry about Wilson. He’s just getting started.
