Summary
$66.4 million over four years will keep Joe Tippmann in New York long term, with $34.9 million guaranteed for the 25-year-old guard.
The Jets moved before Tippmann entered the final year of his rookie deal after he started 48 games in three seasons and settled in at right guard last year.
His extension gives New York a young offensive-line core under team control, with tackles Olu Fashanu and Armand Membou still on rookie contracts.
The deal fits a broader offseason plan to build around the Jets' young nucleus after defensive free-agent additions and Breece Hall's new contract.
