The Facts:
The Jets put a bit of a dent in the room they have under the salary cap today by signing Cotchery to a long-term contract extension. "Jerricho Cotchery is the type of player we are looking for here," GM Mike Tannenbaum said. "He earned a starting role this year and showed the productivity and consistency we want at that position."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Terms were not announced (yet), but the receiver, who thrived under Eric Mangini in his third NFL season would have become a free agent after the 2007 season had he not been wrapped up. The move spells near-certain doom for fellow WR Justin McCareins, who was pushed out of his starting role by Cotchery this season and is due to earn almost $3 million in 2007 and has four more years left on his contract.
