We've agreed to a multi-year extension with TE Jeremy Ruckert.
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.
