Jets sign playmaking safety Kerry Rhodes to 5-year contract extension

For all the money the New York Jets spent this offseason on free agents, Kerry Rhodes patiently waited and wondered when his big payday would come.

"When people were getting signed and me being an athlete and having feelings and thinking about what was going on, there were times when that was in the back of my mind," the star safety said Thursday. "But they came right away and reassured me, so it was a good feeling."

And so is being one of the richest safeties in the NFL. The Jets signed Rhodes to a five-year extension for $33.5 million, including $20 million guaranteed, according to various media reports. It's just short of the five-year, $37.5 million deal Indianapolis' Bob Sanders, the defensive player of the year, got before last season.
