The Jets will enter 2026 with another piece of their offensive line returning.
Center Josh Myers signed a two-year, $11 million extension — with $6 million guaranteed — that’ll keep him with the Jets through the end of the 2027 season, according to ESPN.
Myers, 27, spent the first four years of his career with the Packers before joining the Jets on a one-year deal and competing with Joe Tippmann for the starting spot.
Then, when Alijah Vera-Tucker tore his triceps in practice before Week 1 in an injury that’d sideline him for the entire season, Tippmann shifted to right guard and Myers emerged as Gang Green’s center.
So while the Jets have plenty of questions to answer on offense throughout the spring, starting with the obvious dilemma of quarterback and extending to receiving depth, they’ll at least have some consistency on the line.
Tippmann, Myers, left tackle Olu Fashanu and right tackle Armand Membou are all under contract.
Left guard John Simpson will be a free agent after the season, while Vera-Tucker is set to become an unrestricted free agent, too.
