The New York Jets have locked in another piece of their young core.
The Jets signed offensive lineman Joe Tippmann “on a big, new 4-year extension,” NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport posted.
“One of the game’s top young guards gets paid, as the Jets are set to lock up another core player,” Rapoport added.
The phrasing of Rapoport’s tweet implies that this four-year extension will be added to the final year of Tippmann’s rookie deal.
In other words, Tippmann should be under team control through the 2030 season. He would be scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent in the 2031 offseason.
Financial Details of Tippmann’s Extension
Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic revealed that it is a four-year, $62 million deal that includes $31 million “in new money guarantees.”

This is a developing story, and we’ll provide new details as they become available.
