FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Nick Mangold has become the NFL’s highest-paid center, signing a seven-year deal with the New York Jets that could be worth up to $55 million.

The two-time Pro Bowl selection was scheduled to earn $3.3 million in the final year of his five-year rookie deal. The contract, signed Tuesday, surpasses the one inked last year by St. Louis center Jason Brown, whose five-year contract was worth $37.5 million, including $20 million guaranteed.

Mangold, who reported for training camp despite being disappointed with the lack of progress of the negotiations, says owner Woody Johnson and general manager Mike Tannenbaum approached him two weeks ago about getting a deal done.
