Jets Extend Center Josh Myers on Two-Year, $11 Million Deal

The deal keeps him through 2027, reinforcing the Jets’ commitment to continuity up front.

Overview

  • ESPN reports the extension includes $6 million guaranteed and takes Myers off the March free-agent market.
  • With Myers signed, the Jets have four of their five starting offensive linemen under contract for 2026, while John Simpson and Alijah Vera-Tucker are pending free agents.
  • Myers became the starter after Alijah Vera-Tucker’s preseason triceps injury moved Joe Tippmann to right guard and reshaped the interior line.
  • The Jets have started the same five linemen in every game this season, the only NFL team to do so.
  • Myers’ 2025 PFF grade is 53.6, yet ESPN credits him ninth in pass-block win rate and 27th in run-block win rate after he joined on a one-year, $2 million deal in March.
