| Jets Sign Center Mangold To Long Term Deal |
The timing may have been intended to send a message to holdout safety Darrelle Revis, who like Mangold felt he was undervalued with his current deal. Unlike Revis, however, Mangold reported to training camp while negotiations with the team continued. Mangold confirmed that he had spoken to Revis before his deal was finalized: "We talked. I would say being in the same situation I didn't feel that we should be taking advice from each other." Although he knew that a holdout was an option, he decided against it: "[Holding out] didn't fit my personality. It's not me, it's not who I am, and it's not what I do." Mangold’s decision was appreciated by his teammates, including fellow lineman Brandon Moore: "He treated it like a professional. He could've easily made a stink about it, did some things here even when he was here. You wouldn't have known. A lot of guys didn't even know it was an issue. I think that's a testament of how professional he is, able to put that aside, and just come to work." Head coach Rex Ryan was also complimentary of Mangold, calling him ‘the best center in the NFL’: "He's a tremendous player obviously and that would be a huge thing for our franchise. He can handle nose tackles, and that's where it starts now with all these 3-4 teams I think. It could be every team in our division playing a 3-4 and you better have a center who can match up with these nose tackles." The Jets continue their preseason this weekend with a home game against the Washington Redskins on Saturday. New York is a -4’ point NFL betting favorite with the total set at 34. They’ll get the regular season underway on Monday, September 13 at home against the Baltimore Ravens. The Jets are a -3 point home favorite with the total set at 37.

NFL centers may not get the media attention of the so-called ‘skill position’ players, but any pro football expert will tell you that they’re one of the most important positions on the team. The New York Jets are clearly aware of the value of a good center, and have made a significant financial investment at the position. Early this week the team signed their All Pro center Nick Mangold to a 7 year contract extension valued at $55 million. Under the new deal Mangold becomes the highest paid center in the NFL.
