New York Jets Lock Up Guard Joe Tippmann with $62M Extension

The New York Jets have reached an agreement on a four-year contract extension with right guard Joe Tippmann, according to multiple reports that surfaced Monday.

The 25-year-old Tippmann’s new deal is valued at $62 million, with $31 million in new money guarantees, as reported by The Athletic.

Tippmann had been set to enter the last year of his rookie contract, which carried a base salary of $3.9 million for the 2026 season.

Standing 6-foot-6 and weighing 313 pounds, Tippmann started every one of the Jets’ 17 games at guard last season following a position shift from center. Across his NFL career, he has appeared in 50 games and made 48 starts.

General manager Darren Mougey has made it a priority to extend promising young players before their rookie deals expire. Tippmann now joins wide receiver Garrett Wilson, running back Breece Hall, and tight end Jeremy Ruckert as players who have secured new contracts ahead of hitting that milestone.
