The Jets have become the fourth team in the N.F.L. to settle a class-action lawsuit over illegal wages paid to their cheerleaders.
The Jets officially agreed last Friday to pay a total of $325,000 to 52 of the team’s dancers, known as the Jets Flight Crew, who worked from 2011 to 2013 for fixed pay that some said violated minimum wage laws.
Like the Oakland Raiders, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Cincinnati Bengals, who settled similar suits, the Jets did not admit wrongdoing.
The team declined to comment Wednesday, pointing to a public statement from last August, when the terms of the settlement finalized by a judge last week had been tentatively reached.
