Sources: Jets center Myers gets 2-year, $11M deal

"FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets center Josh Myers, who has started every game after arriving nine months ago as a possible backup, was rewarded Friday with a two-year, $11 million contract extension, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Adam Schefter. The deal runs through 2027 and includes $6 million guarantee, a source told Fowler. Myers, 27, who spent his first four seasons with the Green Bay Packers, was a bargain free-agent signing for the Jets in March -- one year, $2 million."

"He competed with incumbent center Joe Tippmann throughout the preseason. Before a winner was declared, the Jets had to shuffle their offensive line due to right guard Alijah Vera-Tucker's season-ending triceps injury during the run-up to Week 1. Tippmann shifted to right guard, with Myers taking the center position. Since then, the Jets have started the same five linemen for every game -- the only team with that distinction."

Josh Myers signed a two-year, $11 million contract extension with the New York Jets that runs through 2027 and includes $6 million guaranteed. Myers joined the Jets nine months earlier on a one-year, $2 million deal after four seasons with the Green Bay Packers. He won the starting center job following a preseason competition and a lineup reshuffle caused by Alijah Vera-Tucker's season-ending triceps injury, which moved Joe Tippmann to right guard. Myers has started every game since, anchoring the only NFL offensive line to use the same five starters each game. He ranks ninth among centers in pass-block win rate and 27th in run-block win rate. The Jets have four of five starters under contract for 2026; left guard John Simpson and Vera-Tucker are pending free agents.
