Jeremy Ruckert is staying with his hometown NFL team for at least two more years.
The New York Jets signed the former Ohio State tight end to a two-year, $10 million contract extension on Wednesday. The deal is worth a maximum of $5.5 million per year with incentives, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Ruckert has 20 catches for 163 yards this season, both career-highs, with one touchdown. He’s the second former Buckeye to sign a contract extension with the Jets this month, joining center Josh Myers, who signed a two-year, $11 million contract extension with the Jets last week.
