All-Pro center Nick Mangold and the Jets are closing in on a new seven year, $55 million contract, NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora reports, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

The deal would make the two-time Pro Bowl selection the highest paid center in NFL history.

The two sides have agreed on the length and total compensation of the deal, but are still working out issues such as guaranteed money, which will be between $22-$25M guaranteed.

Good he deserves it. He came to camp, never complained and did what was asked of him. He is right there with Jeff Saturday as far as the best center in the game today and he has been a great player for the team since being drafted back in 2006.

Hopefully this will wake Revis and his eyes and see how you get rewarded.

I've heard from Colts fans that Saturday has lost a step, like Kevin Mawae. So I think it's ok to list Mangold as the holder of the top Center throne.

Can't think of anyone I'd rather have, to be honest.

Interior linemen might be the way to go really. OT's are so expensive that you can basically afford two elite interior OL players, lol.

He's worth every penny. He's probably the best interior lineman in the game at the moment, and he has a very nice looking future ahead of him. If they lock down Dbrick and Mangold in the same offseason, that Oline is looking pretty good for the next 10 years.

They all ready did lock up Brick so ya if this gets done and it should that is very good for the Jets.

Yeah, I think Mangold is clearly the top center. Ryan Kalil may be the #2 at this point. Guy was a stud last year, he could be closing the gap if he keeps it up.

Glad Mangold got his extension. Was taken at the bottom of the first round and became a premier player. Those rookie contracts there aren't that lucrative so he deserved a raise. Plus he didn't ***** or moan about it, just let the team know, and then continued his business.
Performed well, acted professionally, and got what he wanted. Good for him.

so now he can finally afford lipsuction for his sister

What's he gonna sing?

He's the lead singer and bass guitarist for a Wings cover band.

[BlindSite]

This is going to suck when it's time to sign Kalil

[BmoreBlackByrdz]

So with them signing D'Brickishaw and Mangold in the same off season to huge deals, is it even financially possible for them to also sign Revis to that $130+ million contract he wants?

Saturday is no longer in the discussion. He is fairly dependable and his mind is as quick as ever but physically he is losing ground.

How the hell are the Jets paying for all this?
