Josh Myers News: Inks two-year extension

Myers and the Jets agreed to a two-year, $11 million contract extension Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.

Myers was brought in by the Jets in March on a one-year contract to initially serve as the backup center to Joe Tippmann. However, Myers was thrust into the starting role at center after Alijah Vera-Tucker suffered a season-ending triceps injury in early September, which led to Tippmann being shifted over to right guard. Per Cimini, Myers ranks ninth among centers in ESPN's pass-block win rate and 27th in run-block win rate.
