Jets, Ferguson agree to terms on six-year, $60M extension

NFL.com Wire Reports

The New York Jets have agreed to terms on a contract extension with OT D'Brickashaw Ferguson, a person familiar with the deal tells The Associated Press.

NFL Network's Michael Lombardi reports the extension is worth $60 million over six years.

Ferguson had one year, plus an option year, remaining on his rookie deal signed in 2006, worth a total of $13 million.

The Jets are expected to announce the deal Thursday.

The star tackle, who switched agents to sign with Brad Blank in February, will get $34.8 million in guaranteed money, and his average of $10 million per season matches Dolphins OT Jake Long's record for an offensive lineman, a team source tells NFL Network's Jason La Canfora.

The total of Ferguson's contract is now worth $73.622 million, with $60 million in new money.

Ferguson is one of four high-profile Jets players seeking new deals this offseason, along with CB Darrelle Revis, C Nick Mangold and LB David Harris.

Unlike his teammates, Ferguson worked very quietly and without public display to get his new deal, a factor in him becoming the first of their young core players to get his extension, a source with knowledge of the situation told La Canfora.

Revis said he wants to become the highest-paid player at his position and the Jets are reportedly willing to offer him a contract worth over $100 million.

Also Wednesday, The Jets signed OL Vladimir Ducasse, a second-round pick out of UMass, to a four-year deal worth $3.25, according to Lombardi.

Ducasse, the highest 2010 draft pick to have signed thus far, is expected to start at guard for the departed Alan Faneca, but could also back up Ferguson at OT, where he played at college.

Haven't heard anything about this until now, that's the way I would do it, be very quiet about it.

Jets Front Office: "Hey, let's sign our right tackle with one year left on his deal instead of working on a contract for the league's best cornerback and center!"

The Jets have already offered Revis a contract of over $100 mil. Revis rejected it.

Its all about how the player approaches it. My guess is the Jets are trying to set an example for Revis and other soon to be FA's. Work with the team behind closed doors like Ferguson did and you get paid. Make a spectical and you are going to wait.

The Jets would save a lot of time and aggrevation if they just reworked everybody's contract on the team. It has gotten so bad on that team I heard the guy who puts ice in the Gatorade bucket wants $1 more an hour or he is going to use frostbite fingers as an excuse and sit out training camp.
