Overview
- Rapoport reported that Baltimore is signing guard John Simpson to a three-year, $30 million contract, attributing the deal to agent Kyle Strongin of RangeSportsRMP.
- Simpson joined the Jets in March 2024 and appeared in all 34 games over the past two seasons.
- New York started the same five offensive linemen from Week 1 through Week 18 last season, and Simpson’s exit means at least one new starter is expected in 2026.
- The veteran lineman is 28 years old and will turn 29 before the 2026 season begins.
- The report is characterized as developing, with official team confirmations and contract specifics still to be disclosed.
