What happened: The New York Jets have signed guard Joe Tippmann to a four year extension, keeping the former second round pick in the fold through the 2029 season. Tippmann transitioned to right guard last year and played every offensive snap for a unit that finally found some stability.

Why it matters: While Tippmann showed elite pass blocking flashes in the second half of 2025, his overall performance metrics were more middle of the pack. Paying top tier money for a player who is still developing his run blocking consistency is a risky move for a Jets team that needs to maximize every dollar of cap space.
