FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Defensive end John Franklin-Myers, one of the New York Jets' promising young players on defense, has agreed to a four-year contract extension, a source confirmed Thursday night.
The deal is worth $55 million, including $30 million guaranteed, according to a source. The Jets announced Friday that they had agreed to an extension with Franklin-Myers without disclosing terms.
The 25-year-old Franklin-Myers was in the final year of his rookie contract, making $920,000 in 2021. The extension puts him under contract through 2025.
Franklin-Myers, claimed on waivers from the Los Angeles Rams in 2019, won a starting job in training camp.
