Nick Mangold Agrees to a 7 year $55 Million Deal

PrintDave Hutchinson & Jenny Vrentas report for Star-Ledger:
Mangold and the team have reached an agreement on a new, seven-year deal worth $55 million, according to someone with direct knowledge of the details of the contract.
That person requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak for Mangold or the team. The amount of guaranteed money is still being negotiated but is expected to be more than the $20 million Rams center Jason Brown received last year.
More reaction to come, but congratulations to Nick. He showed up, and he's got paid. Another of the core 4 locked up long term. Not "official" official, but this is how it usually goes, just the guaranteed money to reveal and official announcements.
Earlier today Mangold said that he would love to be with the Jets long term, and Rex added that locking the best centre in the league up would be a huge step for the Jets. Well today that's happened. Nick has continually improved since being drafted with the 29th pick of the 2006 draft.
The Jets have enjoyed consistent line play over the last two seasons, and locking the two young pro bowlers up is a big step forward. Earlier this off-season when asked why he was not holding out, Mangold commented that Slauson and Ducasse needed help, and that he wouldn't let the offensive line be the weak link of the team. It's that kind of character on top of ability that makes you proud to have him as a Jet.
The guaranteed money over $20 million is perfectly reasonable in my opinion (of course depending how high it is), and it will be interesting to see the structure of the full contract.

My first thought
I’m waiting to see how Florio spins this to try and make the Jets look cheap.

You’re not wrong. Sure he will turn this into a anti-Jets article somehow.

Congrats to Nick.
His handling of the situation was exemplary. Proof of the Jets intentions to take care of their own. Next up for his payday… David Harris.

And this ladies and gents is how it should be done
Good job to Nick for being a class act about this. He showed up, he practiced, he played, he got paid. Perfectly handled for the most part

Great news
How do you think the Revis camp will see this?
by Bob_The_Friendly_Baker on Aug 23, 2010 8:15 PM EDT reply actions
They’re signing Wednesday they don’t care, lol.
But honestly if they aren’t and they are still in negotiations, it strengthens the Jets case obviously.
From judging the reaction on the site, it seems the Jets were already winning the PR war. This only makes their case stronger that they are willing to shell out fair money for top talent.

Agreed, Jets were already in a strong position with PR previous to this. However it’s just more proof that the Jets are willing to reward the top players. If I were in the Revis camp, I’d probably be playing the what if game….what if Revis had gone to camp and shown commitment to the Jets, would they have already committed to him long term.

Memo to Nick Mangold
Dear Nick,
Thank you for showing up to camp while still under contract. As your reason for not holding out (other than saying it doesn’t fit your personality), you said that Slauson/Ducasse needed help and you wouldn’t let the O-line be a weak link of this team. For that, Gang Green Nation thanks you. Obviously the Jets organization is also thanking you in their own way. Enjoy your reward and I for one am looking forward to watching you pancake opposing NTs this year!
Sincerely,
A Very Happy Jets Fan

Actually
That last line should read: “Enjoy your reward and I for one am looking forward to watching you pancake opposing NTs for the next SEVEN YEARS!”
No pancakes the first game
The only person getting pancaked the first game will be Mangold. He’s not big enough to eat breakfast with those guys.
Kris Jenkins got pancaked by Mangold,
and Gregg will get bent over and anally pillaged by Kris Jenkins in a fight between those 2. Ngata is a stud, but if you can handle Kris Jenkins, you can handle whoever.

Man I wanted us to draft Cody so bad...
I wanted Cody and Taylor Mays… But I like Wilson and let’s see how Ducasse turns out.
The JETS/NETS are coming!
It shouldn't have, but this made me laugh so hard I teared up
excellent use of the phrase “anally pillaged”

thanks.
it’s not often that you get a compliment like that. :)
Gregg is a former wrestler
He is used to having guys reach for his nether region. It takes more than that to throw off the scent for Taco Boy.
+!
Is it just me or have we had really great center play over the last 10 years. I think we are spoiled… but I’m not complaining. Congrats Nick. I can see the endorsement deals and commercials coming too especially when we win that superbowl. Sanchize and Mangold made for TV.
The JETS/NETS are coming!
And What Should have been....
Darelle Revis on NOT holding out. " Well we were 30 minutes from the Superbowl last year and the rest of our secondary got lit up in the scond half." Said Revis reffering to the AFC championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts and Super QB Peyton Manning. “The organisation drafted a good looking young CB in Wilson and traded for a top tier corner in Cromartie to play across from me. Rather than me hold out and make a stink, I thought it more important for me the leader of the secondary and best CB in football to be in camp making sure the new guys gel.” Revis continued on by saying " We could have the best defense and best secondary ever. I’m excited to be a part of that. The Jets and my Agents will be hard at work on the other things while I am hard at work here."
What a class act and a Leader and Role Model. The Jets are said to be putting the finishing touches on his 10 year 200 million dollar deal.
The JETS/NETS are coming!
Wow, That's a Lot of Cash!
I wonder how much of that money is going to go into hair products? :)
I’m just kidding. Mangold is awesome and he deserves every penny.
I think we should all appreciate the fact that the Jets organization is showing that everyone who shows full committment to the success of the team, and not to their wallets is getting the raise that they have clearly earned.
someone on twitter put it best (can’t remember who, if you read this, stick your hand up) when they said that Nick has earned enough money to put Lost Series 7 on the air lol

I'm Still Sad Though... No, Not About Revis
It just keeps bothering me that the team can spend that kind of money on one player but can’t “afford” to keep just-as-hard-working veterans as Thomas Jones, Alan Faneca, James Dearth, and Marques Douglas. But I’m not doubting Mangold’s worth and value to the team – everyone, even those guys who got the boot, would say he deserves every penny.
Worth and value are two different things. To be able to tie up the current and future stars of the franchise, sometimes the team has to look for cheaper (Slausen/Duccasse/Purdum) more suitable (LT) options. Unfortunately roster change is a part of life, and although we become accustomed to some players being here, sooner or later they all move on or retire.

OKay I'll break down what I believe as far as Faneca and Jones.
For Faneca, they felt like he had served his purpose. I wish they would have kept him, but as his pass protection declined they felt the need to cut him even though they’d still have to pay him. As for Jones, they cut him for the sole purpose of signing LT, a superstar just so they could put asses in the seats. It was the same thing when the team opted to go after Favre. Ugh.
I completely disagree with the LT reasoning, did that have something to do with it? sure…but he was brought in because Sanchez needs that receiver out of the backfield, that safety valve. By having him we can keep defences even more off balance than they already were, LT serves a purpose and role to this team that Thomas Jones couldn’t fulfil.

That is also true,
but he had a fine receiver in Leon. But we all know that they chose to trade Leon… but I also remember they didn’t do that until the draft. They signed LT back in March, and didn’t trade Leon until April… so I think we’re both right David.
I think we all knew Leon was on his way out when he turned down our contract offer and then broke his leg. Even in March it seemed a matter of time before Leon was moved on and traded. Draft is the best time to make the moves for picks, just because Leon was traded in April doesn’t mean the Jets decided he would be traded in April.

LT was also brought in to mentor Shonn and the other backs, not so much T-Rich though. But he was def brought in as that safety check down and to spell Shonn.

part of the Favre trade was to put fans in the seats
but you could also have argued that it was a football move, considering that Clemens is clearly not good enough to take that team into the playoffs. I think most of us are unhappy with his tenure with the Jets because he was terrible down the stretch, but before he suffered that shoulder injury he was having a good year, and we would have made the playoff if he didn’t get hurt.

I honestly would have liked to keep Chad.
I think he had a year or so left in him. But oh well, no sense in crying over spilled milk. Done deal. Hopefully we lay Favre on his old ass come Week 5.
I liked Chad, too.
I still do. But now that he’s gone, I think we’re better off. I didn’t like how it happened, but in the end we ended up with a young potential franchise QB.
Speaking of that young potential franchise QB, it can be argued that Nick is more valuable to the team right now than Revis.
and the home of the... JETS!!!

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
Who was the guy in here a couple of weeks ago talking about
building a football team with betting metaphors, talking about how we had to re-bet on LG because Faneca had become to much of a “safe guy” with little chance of outperforming his contract, where as Slauson and Ducasse may not be as good as Faneca, but we will get more value out of those guys per dollar, allowing money to be allocated to other guys, like Brick, Mangold, hopefully Harris and Revis.
That was some phenomenal reading and I thought it did a great job of explaining why some of the moves that the Jets have made have actually been made.
was it kv or something?
crackback would know. I agree. That was some great and educational writing there.
Seems like a good deal for both sides
Happy this got done. I am starting to see a pattern here. Keep your mouth shut your head down play and get paid. Hmm
Since the face been revealed the game got real
