The New York Jets recently made Sauce Gardner the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history.

Now, they will demand he plays as such.

According to Rich Cimini of ESPN, Gardner will have an expanded role on defense this season.

“Gardner has quietly yearned to cover the opponents’ No. 1 receiver. In the previous defensive scheme, zone-based, he did it only a handful of times each season, mostly in the red zone. He said it might be in the new scheme, which is expected to rely heavily on man-to-man coverage. Gardner also said he might get some blitzing opportunities, which he relishes,” Cimini wrote.
