Former Virginia lineman D’Brickashaw Ferguson has signed a six-year, 60 million dollar contract extension to remain with the New York Jets. Brick had two years remaining on his current deal, but the Jets saw fit to make certain the talented Pro Bowl tackle remained a part of "Gang Green" till 2017.
As far as I can ascertain, this contract will make him the highest paid Jet ever. $34.8 million of the deal is guaranteed money, which surpasses the $30 million bucks given to Miami Dolphins former No. 1 overall choice Jake Long. Long’s contract had been the most ever guaranteed cash for a offensive lineman.
The Jets top priority now is working on a deal to keep disgruntled all-world corner Darrelle Revis happy. Revis deserves to get paid. He’s insanely awesome and quite possibly the top player in the NFL.
Congrats Brick. Go Hoos, beat the Hokies!
