Thomas Morstead isn’t going anywhere. The Jets’ punter was locked in for another two years and he shared his excitement on Twitter with his contract signing and his family.
Officially official!

Morstead took to Twitter Tuesday and simply said “March 13 @ 4:01pm.”
One can believe he was ready to break his own news about sticking with the Jets for two more years but the news leaked out about an hour prior. “Cat’s out of the bag!” Morstead said on Twitter.
The news may have leaked early but it just meant an early celebration for Jets fans, who really began embracing Morstead after he gave the Jets one of the best seasons of his career on his first full season in New York — he split the 2021 season between the Jets and the Falcons.
In the end, Morstead was an easy bet to return to New York for what will be his 16th and 17th seasons. Now it’s official.
