Jets Lock Up Joe Tippmann With 4-Year, $66.4 Million Extension

3 articles · Updated · NFL.com · Jun 15

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.
