Jets Minicamp Notes: Joe Tippmann a player 'you want to be around for a long time'

The Jets opened their 2026 mandatory minicamp with a focus on stability on the offensive line, highlighted by a four-year, $66.4 million extension for guard Joe Tippmann. Tippmann moved from center to right guard after an injury to Alijah Vera-Tucker and has earned praise for his character and play. Cade Klubnik did not practice due to back spasms, with a return anticipated later in the week. The team also welcomed defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat, acquired in a trade sending Jermaine Johnson to the Titans, whose size and versatility are expected to bolster the front.
