What happened: Agents Drew Rosenhaus and Kyle Lincoln disclosed the agreement to Adam Schefter on Sunday. Runyan was entering the final year of the three-year, $30 million contract he signed in 2024.
Why it matters: New York now has continuity at guard beyond 2026, when Runyan's previous deal was due to expire. The commitment follows an offseason in which releasing him could have cleared $9.25 million in 2026 cap space.
By the numbers: The extension averages $11 million per year, while its $21.5 million guarantee equals 97.7% of the total value. Runyan's previous deal averaged $10 million annually with $17 million guaranteed.
What to watch: The year-by-year structure will determine how the new money affects New York's future salary caps.
