David Harris Sign Huge Extension With Jets

The Jets and David Harris agreed to a massive 4 year, $36 million dollar extension with $29.5 million guaranteed. That's the most guaranteed money for a ILB. He was the last member of the Jets so called "Core 4 to not get a long term extension from the Jets. He is a valuable part of the team as his leadership and tackling skills are key for a team without a well known tackler.
The Jets know of his importance to their vaunted defense. He is crucial to their rush defense and rarely misses tackles, which was a big weakness for their defense last year and led to their demise in the AFC Championship Game to the Steelers.
His only major weakness is that he's a liability in pass coverage, which if he works on can leap him to elite linebacker status if he's not their already.
This signing locks up Harris for a long team and adds another success to their offense. The Jets are locked in for this year and years to come.
