Garrett Wilson just got a whole lot richer -- the New York Jets and their star wide receiver have reached an agreement on a massive four-year, $130 million extension through 2030!!

According to Adam Schefter, the deal includes $90 million guaranteed ... which means he'll earn an average of over $31 million per year.

It's quite the payday for the 24-year-old ... especially considering he's only played in the NFL for three seasons.

Joe Castaneda has already put hands on Adrian Peterson, but "Baby Joe" isn't taking the NFL legend lightly ahead of their Celebrity Boxing match ... he's started working out with a trainer, and TMZ Sports has the video!

We're told Castaneda -- a professional poker player by trade -- hired combat sports coach Teddy Concepcion at the Oasis gym in Las Vegas ... and Joe is already on the ground, going through a bunch of different drills, including hitting mitts.

It should come as no surprise that he's taking the fight seriously. Earlier this month, Castaneda told us this was the plan, saying he wanted to sharpen "up these hands to put on a show!"

Trinity Rodman and Ben Shelton are certainly making the most of their summer ... 'cause the soccer star shared a recap from a recent getaway -- and they couldn't keep their hands off each other!!

One of the photos shows them locking lips right in front of the water ... with the NWSL forward showing off her physique in a green bikini.

MLB All-Star Week means a break for some players, but not for Paul Skenes ... 'cause the Pittsburgh Pirates' lone selection touched down in Atlanta for the festivities in style -- taking a private jet with his girlfriend, Livvy Dunne!!

Seth Rollins' knee injury might be as bad as it looked ... as Triple H provided an update on the WWE Superstar's status on Sunday -- and it's not giving much hope for fans.

Triple H opened up on the incident while meeting with the media after Sunday's all-women's "Evolution" event ... and he said early tests were inconclusive about the full extent of the injury.

Despite the World Boxing Association reconsidering Jake Paul's ranking, Bryce Hall feels it got it right the first time ... telling TMZ Sports El Gallo deserves the recognition since he's fighting legends.
