Daniel Brown will be back with the Jets. The team announced Thursday that the tight end signed a one-year extension for an undisclosed amount.
Brown is the second Jets tight end to sign an extension under Joe Douglas. Back in November, Ryan Griffin signed a three-year deal with the Jets worth $10.8 million with $4 million guaranteed. Brown and Griffin complete the tight end room that includes Chris Herndon, Trevon Wesco and Ross Travis.
In 2019, Brown played in all 16 games, starting five of them for Gang Green. He totaled seven receptions for 72 yards and a score. In addition, he finished third on the Jets with 11 special teams tackles.
The fifth-year tight end out of James Madison University now has 389 yards, 42 catches and two touchdowns for his career.
Primarily utilized as a blocking tight end, Brown will compete with Wesco for playing time once OTAs roll around.
