FLORHAM PARK
Color Rush Blake Cashman Jersey , N.J. (AP) — Quincy Enunwa is staying put with Sam Darnold and the New York Jets.The wide receiver signed a multiyear contract extension
Friday, opting for the deal with his only NFL team rather than free agency in
the offseason."I'm excited, especially for the future," Enunwa said with a big
smile. The team announced the extension after its final full practice of the
regular season. A person familiar with the contract told The Associated Press
the deal is worth $36 million over four years, including $20 million in
guarantees. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team doesn't
announce terms of contracts.The terms were first reported by Pro Football
Weekly."Quincy is a key part of our foundation," general manager Mike Maccagnan
said in a statement, "and we are thrilled that this contract will keep him here
for years to come."Enunwa will sit out his third straight game Sunday with an
ankle injury, but had 38 catches for 449 yards and a touchdown after missing
last season with a neck injury.He acknowledged that the thought of playing with
Darnold as his quarterback over the next few years was a major factor in
deciding to stay."I'll make the joke: I have a young quarterback that I can
mold," a laughing Enunwa said. "No
Youth Blake Cashman Jersey , seriously, though, Sam is an amazing player and as a receiver that's who you want to play with. And we have so much talent around at
every position. I've been here for so long and this is what I know and this is
what I've come to love and I want to continue that."Enunwa was leading the Jets
in receptions before his latest ankle injury — he said he had two high ankle
sprains this season. He's a well-respected presence in the locker room, and was
voted by his teammates for the Jets' Ed Block Award as the most courageous
player."I haven't been a part of the past couple of games, but just kind of
sitting around and seeing what's been going on, me and Sam had a good
relationship going in the beginning," Enunwa said. "I'm looking forward to
continuing that next year and in years to come."Enunwa was expected to be
perhaps the Jets' top pending free agent in the offseason, so they can scratch
him off their "to-do" list. Fellow wide receiver Robby Anderson is scheduled to
be a restricted free agent, and other top potential unrestricted free agents
include wide receiver Jermaine Kearse
Womens Blake Cashman Jersey , running back Bilal Powell and cornerbacks Morris Claiborne and Buster Skrine.Several teammates congratulated Enunwa with high-fives and
fist bumps in the locker room when news of the contract extension spread. One
player shouted: "We're rich!"While Enunwa was speaking to reporters, teammate
Jamal Adams started singing The O'Jays' "For The Love of Money" while dropping
dollar bills onto the locker room floor — causing the receiver to crack
up.There's a strong possibility the Jets will have a coaching change in the
offseason, but Enunwa said that didn't really play into his decision to remain
with the franchise."I think really just thinking about the team itself was kind
of my focus," he said. "You know, my brothers. And whoever comes in, whether
it's a continued coaching staff or a new coaching staff, I'm just excited about
the future."Enunwa has 118 receptions for 1,621 yards and five TDs since being
drafted in the sixth round in 2014 out of Nebraska."I just put my head down and
tried to practice perseverance," Enunwa said. "For me
Authentic Blake Cashman Jersey , I've dreamt of this day, so I think all it did was kind of give me more incentive, more motivation to make this day happen."NOTES:

opener is finally here. Tonight the Jets kick off a game for the first time
since the 2017 season ended. No, it isn’t a real game. Those don’t come for
another month. With that said, it still is (sort of) football and another step
closer to the start of the season.On today’s podcast we preview the game.
Preseason previews are a bit different than regular season previews. The
objective isn’t really to win the game. It is more to evaluate. With that in
mind, it doesn’t seem worth it to give a scouting report on the other team or
discuss key matchups. Our focus is going to be on the performances of individual
Jets players.On the show I offer five groups of players to watch against
Atlanta
Blake Cashman Jersey Boys , the quarterbacks, the position battles, the players having strong camps, the enigmas, and the disappointments. Thanks as always for
listening.
