FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Nick Mangold got the big deal he was looking for and a new label that might make Darrelle Revis envious.

The New York Jets' two-time Pro Bowl center became the highest-paid player at his position Tuesday, signing a seven-year deal with the New York Jets that could be worth up to $55 million.

"To be able to say, 'the highest-paid center' is very nice to hear," Mangold said. "It worked out well for both sides."

The deal includes over $22 million in guarantees against injury, a person with knowledge of the contract told The Associated Press.

The All-Pro center was scheduled to earn $3.3 million in the final year of his five-year rookie deal.
