Overview

  • New York announced the two-year extension on Dec. 17, a $10 million contract with incentives that can raise the value to $11 million and keep Jeremy Ruckert under team control through 2027.
  • Ruckert has operated as the Jets’ No. 2 tight end behind rookie Mason Taylor, logging a career-high workload with significant blocking and special teams snaps.
  • He has posted career bests in 2025 with 20 receptions, 163 receiving yards and one touchdown.
  • The 2022 third-round pick from Ohio State is a Lindenhurst native who grew up a Jets fan and publicly expressed gratitude for the team’s commitment.
  • The agreement marks Mougey’s second short-term extension in a week after center Josh Myers’ two-year, $11 million deal, removing Ruckert from the March free-agent market.
