According to a recent ESPN report, the New York Jets’ franchise tight end has officially reached a personal agreement with the Arizona Cardinals on a 4-year, $121.7 million deal. This move follows the termination of his contract with the Jets earlier this morning.
The decision to part ways with the Jets was reportedly due to a combination of factors, including the team’s current rebuilding phase and the tight end’s desire to pursue a championship opportunity with a contender. The Jets, under new management, are focusing on restructuring the team for the future, which influenced the tight end’s decision to seek a new environment.
The Arizona Cardinals, recognizing the tight end’s potential and experience, have agreed to the substantial contract, reflecting their commitment to strengthening their roster and aiming for a deep playoff run. Details of the contract specifics, such as signing bonuses or performance incentives, have not been disclosed.
This development marks a significant shift in the tight end’s career, moving from a rebuilding Jets team to a Cardinals squad with aspirations of immediate success
