The Jets took care of the last bit of business before training camp. After agreeing to terms with first-round pick Will McDonald, the Jets agreed to terms with the last remaining unsigned draft pick, second-round pick center Joe Tippmann, per Brian Costello of the New York Post.
Per Spotrac, Tippmann’s deal is projected to be four years worth about $8.4 million with a $3 million signing bonus and a cap hit this year of about $1.5 million.
Tippmann will compete with incumbent Connor McGovern for the starting center position and should get every opportunity to unseat the veteran and start Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills.
The entire Jets team reports to camp Wednesday with the first practice Thursday. New York plays their first preseason game August 3 in the Hall of Fame Game against the Cleveland Browns.
