FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets and defensive end John Franklin-Myers agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension Thursday night, according to a person with direct knowledge of the deal. The 25-year-old Franklin-Myers is one of the Jets’ young standouts on their defensive line, which has been a strength of the team. Franklin-Myers was in the final year of his rookie contract, and the Jets will now keep him in the mix through the 2025 season. But Franklin-Myers was waived during the Rams’ final roster cuts the next summer. He broke through last season with New York as a versatile part of the defensive line, and showing a consistent ability to put pressure on the quarterback.
