Tyler Kroft’s contract with Jets includes $1.5 million guaranteed

The Jets bolstered their tight end depth with the low-cost signing of former Bills TE Tyler Kroft.

The Jets agreed to sign Tyler Kroft this week, adding depth to their tight end room.

Gang Green and the former Bills tight end agreed on a one-year, $2 million deal with $1.5 million guaranteed, according to The Athletic’s Connor Hughes. The guaranteed money is broken up between Kroft’s $1.25 million base salary and a $250,000 signing bonus. He also has a per-game roster bonus of $500,000 and $1 million tied to performance incentives for yards and receptions.

Kroft’s cap hit is $2 million.

Kroft’s arrival could mean the end of Ryan Griffin’s stay in New York. The Jets can recoup $1.8 million in salary relief if they part ways with the veteran tight end.
