According to Field Yates, Jets G Alex Lewis has agreed to effectively take a pay cut and rework his deal.
Lewis will now make a base salary of $3 million in 2021 instead of his previously scheduled $5.8 million.
The final year of his deal in 2022 was also eliminated and he’ll now be an unrestricted free agent following the season.
Lewis, 29, is a former fourth-round pick of the Ravens back in 2016. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $2.831 million contract and was set to make a base salary of $828,539 for the 2019 season when the Ravens traded him to the Jets for a seventh-round pick.
The Jets re-signed Lewis to a three-year, $18.6 million deal last March.
In 2020, Lewis appeared in nine games for the Jets, making nine starts for them at guard. He was rated by Pro Football Focus as the No. 26 guard out of 80 qualifying players.
