The Jets gave Huff a second-round tender, meaning another team could have signed Huff to an offer sheet and if the Jets chose not to match, they would have received a second-round pick.

That was also a sign of how high the Jets are on Huff, who continued to show a lot of promise as a pass-rusher. In limited time, Huff recorded 3.5 sacks. Only Quinnen Williams (12), Carl Lawson (7) and John Franklin-Myers (5) had more.

Huff will make about $4.3 million from the tender. He’ll be a restricted free agent after the 2023 season.
