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.
