Jets reward Jeremy Ruckert for solid 2025 with new contract extension

NY Jets GM Darren Mougey is already making some moves that will help lock down many of the team's more impressive role players ahead of the 2026 season. Just a few days after agreeing to a contract extension with center Josh Myers, tight end Jeremy Ruckert is next up on the docket.

After looking like a complete whiff from Joe Douglas after a brutal start to life in the NFL, Aaron Glenn and his coaching staff have been able to mold Ruckert into a viable NFL tight end. Just when it looked like the new regime would move off him, the Long Island native and lifelong Jets fan managed to get a second wind.
