The New York Jets reached an agreement with OT D'Brickashaw Ferguson for a 6-year contract extension worth $60M. Ferguson had two years remaining on his initial contract, so he now will be tied to the Jets for eight years and $73.6M. The guaranteed money is $34.8M, which is a record for an offensive lineman.
The New York Jets signed 5th round pick FB John Conner to a 4-year, $1.99M deal that included a $199,000 signing bonus today. The contract has an escalator in the fourth year that could make the value of the deal worth $2.73M.
According to the Sporting News, the Jets might actually benefit if CB Darrelle Revis, who skipped yesterday's OTA, holds out from non-voluntary practice sessions. Revis' original contract voids after the 2010 season, the Gang Green can buy back the 2011 and 2012 seasons for $5M and $15M, respectively - and that money is guaranteed. However, if Revis holds out, he will lose the guaranteed money, giving the Jets some leverage in negotiating a new deal.

According to the Star Ledger, CB Darrelle Revis and C Nick Mangold will probably have to wait until the 2010 season is over before they receive their contract extensions. Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum met with the representatives of both players at the NFL Scouting Combine, but a new deal isn't imminent for either player, according to two people with knowledge of the talks who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they're not authorized to speak publicly.
The Jets and WR Braylon Edwards are still far apart on contract talks, as the wide receiver wants a long term deal, while the Gang Green want to see Edwards to dedicate himself to the team’s offseason program and become more consistent in 2010. Edwards, who had 6 drops in regular season, caught 35 passes for 541 yards and 4 TDs in 12 games with the Jets. He is a restricted free agent and the club is expected to give him a 1-year tender offer of slightly more than $5M.
