Robert Saleh on John Franklin-Myers’ extension: ‘Those are the guys we want to pay’

Gang Green has locked up one of its better pass rushers.

The Jets inked John Franklin-Myers to a four-year, $55 million extension this week that guarantees the defensive end $30 million. It’s a great move by Joe Douglas and this New York front office to get the deal done now — if Franklin-Myers continued to dominate through the end of this season, re-signing him after 2021 could’ve been more expensive than it currently is.

JFM is a beneficial asset to a relatively strong Jets defense, and head coach Robert Saleh is certainly satisfied with the move.
